I don't care if think Sanders should drop out or not. If he gains more popularity and Super Delegates slide his why, then so be it.
He has the right to take this to the convention. He has a right to see it through, you don't like it? Tough, get over it.
He has the right to join Clinton on the ticket when she asks him to do so.
Get over it. :0)
The nominee has her free choice as to whom she picks as her VP. Hillary Clinton is not stupid. She will not pick Bernie Sanders to be her VP. Republicans would use his radical policies and his praising of Fidel Castro to defeat her. IOW it would be about his policies not hers.
While you millennials have no clue as to who Fidel Castro was, I can assure you that the largest generation in this nation's history, baby boomers, remember him well and know what he did. He is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, imprisoning thousands more for life, for just speaking out against him, executing scientists and teachers, seizing private property and assets, while killing the owners, while thousands more died in homemade rafts trying to make it to the Florida coast. Republicans would ram that information home. Bernie Sanders is sooooo much more than your average run of the mill socialists.
Bernie Sanders heaped praise on Fidel Castro in 1985 interview
And NO he doesn't have the RIGHT to take this to the Democrat National convention. On June 7th, Hillary Clinton will be declared the official nominee of the party--by winning enough delegates. She only needs 90 more, Bernie Sanders needs 847 more. IOW--Not even close, and Bernie Sanders isn't a Democrat. Candidates that lose on both sides of the isle do not give speechs at either parties Natiional Convention. The National Coventions are about the nominee who won, not the losers who lost.
"millennials ???" If you're talking to me, you're talking to the wrong person giving me that silly tag. :0) .. and I'm pretty sure I know more about Castro and Cuba then you do. It seems you don't know who Fulgencio Batista was and what Cuba was like under his rule .. what Cuba was like under the American and Mafia foot on its neck.
It seems that you don't know how poorly educated the Cuban people were before Castro .. or is it that you don't really care about how bad off the Cuban people were .. just the distorted history you've been told. If you'd like to discuss that history, be my guest.
Here's the problem .. despite Hillary winning the nomination fair and square, she's still a weak candidate and does not inspire youth. Bernie Sanders does.
More importantly, this is an opportunity to unite the party, inspire youth, and build a platform for the future away from the centrist / corporatist lock that is driving many away. It's an opportunity to get the party back to being the party of working Americans.
I think this is very likely to happen.
You're apparently not old enough to understand what the opposing party would do with any candidate that praised Fidel Castro--LOL. Prior to Fidel Castro Cuba was a thriving country with tourism everywhere. As soon as Castro took over it's citizens have lived in abject poverty, and actually still do today.
If the youth of this country cannot spot a fraud politician who has catered to them by promising them the moon and stars, and don't know it's bullshit, I don't want them anywhere near a voting booth.

And you think Trumpf does? You're more delusional if you think Trumpf, who probably hasn't been paying taxes and who used veterans as props to get support is worthy of the most important job in the world. Surely there are more Americans that can see through that phony than there are gullible people that believe every lie that comes out of that buffoon's mouth.
Who in the hell told you I was a Trump supporter? For the first time in 40 years we have two candidates that have refused to release their income tax returns. They are none other than Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. The ONLY reason they are refusing to release them is because there's a bombshell in them, that they don't want their supporters to know about. With Donald Trump we already have a clue.
Officials Question Donald Trump’s Use of Tax Loopholes
Bernie Sanders, I imagine is hiding some WALL STREET investment income, that is taxed at a lower rate, or possibly some NRA donations. The NRA is typically a big donor to candidates that oppose any kind of gun control. Bernie Sanders voting against background checks on gun purchases 5 times would have made a big hit with them.
Hillary Clinton has released 33 income taxes returns over the years. So tell me again who's been honest with you, and who hasn't?
