Why Bernie Was Right to Quit

From his perspective, not mine, the decision to suspend the campaign was correct, because:

1. He couldn’t campaign in any meaningful sense due to the virus;

2. Under the circumstances, no one is interested in the campaign, anyway;

3. Wisconsin shows that a contested race will just put voters’ health at risk; and

4. His platform leverage consists of the loyalty of his supporters, not the number of delegates he amasses. Biden knows perfectly well that he needs the votes of the Bernie Bros in November, and so do we.

And so, when it was all said and done, in spite of the innumerable twists and turns in the campaign, my January prediction was right on target. Excuse me for a moment while I pat myself on the back and prepare for November.
