Possible Obituary: Bernie Sanders' Campaign

After getting soundly beaten last night in the Arizona, Florida, and Illinois primaries, Bernie Sanders is finally going to "reassess" his campaign.  The coronavirus issue probably plays a factor in his decision to seemingly shed his monstrous ego for the greater good.  Then again because his opponent is a man, Joe Biden, Sanders is more comfortable with the idea of dropping out, perhaps eventually retiring from the Senate after he proposes more post office naming legislation, and spending time with wife Jane at their lakefront cabin.
