Your party is collapsing at every single second. Get ready for Trump 47

Not even a remotely convincing troll.

Misread this as Trump +47 (like, he wins the popular vote by 47%, which, to be fair, is probably the low end of your prediction).

Yeah I've mentioned before that suspending is distinct from ending and it's done so you can come back if needed/viable (so not just to pay off debts) but I always get told that's how campaigns are ended, well apparently not lol.

[Compuzled_One]

I guess finishing ahead of Dean caused this.

[Oryxslayer]

I consider this a final indignity to Dean Phillips, who keeps losing to her zombie ballot position.

[Bernie Derangement Syndrome Haver]

Guess she realized she didn't get enough attention and book sales yet.

[Sir Mohamed]

LOL, I guess that's solely to embarrass Phillips to come in behind her.

My original plan - to vote for Williamson if she somehow made the Democratic primary in Indiana - is back on track.

That said, I've never much cared for her, and am spending my time focused on spreading information about third party and independent options, as Williamson will never be the Democratic nominee.

[Duke of York]

I've never heard of a candidate doing this.

[Lambsbread]

I've never heard of a candidate doing this.

No serious candidate ever has.

I've never heard of a candidate doing this.

Perot?

[ClassicElectionEnthusiast]

I've never heard of a candidate doing this.

Perot?

You could possibly also make a (weak) case of Gary Hart being an example when he got back in, though most of the base he had prior to being torpedoed by the Donna Rice sex scandal had long since scattered by the time Hart returned to "let the people decide".

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

She beat Phillips, so why not?

I've never heard of a candidate doing this.

Perot?

He might have won had he not done this.

There's also the case of people who said they weren't running for re-election who changed their mind. Marco Rubio 2016 comes to mind.

[Progressive Pessimist]

She has more a justification to stay in than Phillips does.

[Pres Mike]

She has more a justification to stay in than Phillips does.

0 isn't more than 0

[Beet]

Well if a campaign can be suspended that means it can be unsuspended right? Kudos to her for using the word properly.

[SnowLabrador]

She has more a justification to stay in than Phillips does.

0 isn't more than 0

It's more than a negative number, which is how much justification Phillips has.
