Bernie Sanders could destroy his own revolution

For a 74-year-old, Bernie Sanders is damn good at limbo. Sanders is no longer actively running against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination—and yet he isn’t not running either. He’s just, well, in limbo. He clearly wants to continue to push his ideas for the Democratic Party platform and process, but what’s unclear is whether he still wants to push his candidacy—or now help Clinton get elected instead.

Here’s what Sanders said last week: “The major political task that we face in the next five months is to make certain that Donald Trump is defeated and defeated badly. And I personally intend to begin my role in that process in a very short period of time.”

Just not yet, apparently.

Days after primary defeats in California and New Jersey, Sanders started laying off at least half of his campaign staff while calling himself an “active candidate” and pledging to “take our campaign for transforming the Democratic Party into the convention.”
