Reply #40: He had to have been... [View All]

It makes no sense. Yes he came in third in SC, but his support was growing immensely after the debate. He raised more money in the past 25 days than in all of the 4th quarter of last year, and over half was from new donors. His support was growing. He repeatedly said he was in until the end. I'm not saying he would/could have won the nomination, but he certainly had a role to play, an important one, that up until today he appeared to embrace. With momentum building, at least enough to keep him viable in the race, why on earth do you quit when you've been promising people who you appear to genuinely care about that you won't? In my mind, something very sketchy had to have gone down. Whether it was the powers that be telling him to get out of the way so that one of the "historical candidates" can be the nominee (note that I didn't say win, because I am truly scared that they can't. I want them to, any Dem is better than anything else, but I am worried) or something else, we may never know. Sad, sad day.
