Responding to questions at his weekly news conference Tuesday Reid declined to suggest Sanders should drop out or cede the ground to Hillary Clinton who’s expected to post a strong showing in Tuesday’s primaries.
He said Sanders is a good person who “has run a campaign that I think we’ve all recognized has been unique and powerful, and I think Bernie should do what he wants to do.”
But asked whether Sanders has a path to the nomination Reid said: “No I do not.”
He said that Sanders will do what he feels is appropriate and Sanders’ No. 1 issue is what’s best for the country.
everyone knows Sanders was not going to get the nomination, but Clinton had to have some opponent so she can work a little. Without an opponent she could have sat on her little sofa and wondered when all this was over, at least she had to do some work even when it was inevitable she was going to be the democratic nominee. Sanders did surprise some people of his popularity, but he was not the one.
