Should Bernie Sanders stop running for president?

"I’m a Bernie fan. I’m glad he’s running and holding Hillary accountable. She’s a powerful lady who needs to be held accountable. I’m sure that within the next few weeks, Bernie will stop running. But for now, his voice is very important."

"Yes, he should stop running. I’m concerned his tough criticism of Hillary is splitting the party. Conceivably, that could pave the way for a Trump victory. And I definitely don’t want Trump to become our next president."

"No. He’s welcome to maintain his commitment to the people who are supporting him. I think that’s fine. But the negative rhetoric should end. It’s hurting the Democratic Party. Let him keep running, as long as his message is positive in tone."

"No. Bernie Sanders is amazing. He’s been fighting for civil rights his entire career. I’m holding on to the hope that he gets the nomination. Polls show that Bernie has a better chance than Hillary of defeating Trump. So I say to Bernie, ‘Go for it.’"
