CHICAGO, (Saturday, April 23, 2016 4:20 pm) — The array of liberal groups that have come together to support Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders are beginning to plot a course forward in the event he does not win the party’s nomination.

Much like the candidate himself, the groups have not conceded defeat to front-runner Hillary Clinton, but NBC News reports several groups are planning a meeting in Chicago sometime in June, after voting has ended, to explore ways to continue the “political revolution” Sanders has sought to create with his campaign’s message assailing income inequality.

(Wednesday, April 20, 2016) — Bernie Sanders’ campaign is taking a “step back” after the Democratic hopeful lost his native New York to rival Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

Pundits have all but declared the Democratic race over, and the fact that Sanders returned home to Vermont to take the day off on Wednesday – after his top strategist Tad Devine announced Tuesday night, “We’ll take a step back and then decide publicly what his intentions are” – doesn’t bode well for the Vermont senator’s presidential bid.

(Tuesday, April 19, 2016 9:09 pm) — Bernie Sanders criticized New York’s closed primary, decrying the fact that 27% of New Yorkers were ineligible to vote in Tuesday’s primary election because they are not registered with either major party.

“That’s wrong,” Sanders told a crowd at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. “I would hope that in future primary elections in New York state, the officials there make some fundamental changes about how they do business.”

(Thursday, April 7, 2016 2:36 pm EDT) — As if discovering gambling in Casablanca, political operatives professed themselves “shocked” on Thursday at signs of growing rancour between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton ahead of their unexpectedly competitive New York primary election.

“A new low,” complained Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon, after her rival responded to what he believed were personal attacks on him by questioning whether she was “qualified to be president” either.

(Apr. 1, 2016) — BRONX, New York—Mercer Jabul sat quietly at the very top of a hill at St. Mary’s Park, huddled underneath a hooded white coat as she waited, with an estimated 18,500 others, for Bernie Sanders to arrive in the South Bronx. A black woman in her 60s, Jabul is devoted to Sanders and said she has plans to vote for him in New York’s April 19 primary. But she wasn’t positive she was going to vote at all. It had been quite a while.

“I haven’t voted since Mayor Lindsay!” she told me. That would be John Lindsay, the long-ago New York mayor who made unsuccessful bids for president and Senate. He left City Hall in 1973, and the last time he appeared on a ballot was 1980. He died in 2000.
