Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The Democratic Senators who were also primary candidates [View all]MineralMan
(148,443 posts)6. I would not, actually.
If one is not up to the job of campaigning for office, or is unable to perform the duties of elected office, the appropriate thing to do is to withdraw or resign, to let someone more able do the job.
A man who seeks the highest office in the land should be able to constantly demonstrate his capability to perform that job.
I believe it is time for Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT) to withdraw from the primary race and devote what energy he still has to doing his job in the Senate, the office he was elected to hold. If he cannot manage that job, then he should resign that position. We need all hands on deck in the Senate right now.
