Bernie Sanders Drops Out

Senator Bernie Sanders, who in two presidential campaigns, has inspired a huge following and has brought excitement to the political scene, is dropping out of the 2020 presidential campaign.  Sanders, whose Democratic Socialism, as he termed it, inspired many who have been skeptical of politics.  It was, however, a style not embraced by most party leaders, many afraid the label would be associated with Communism. 
In 2016, Sanders, easily identified by his first name, stayed in the race, even when it was clear that Hilary Clinton would be the nominee.  Many Democrats blame Sanders for Clinton's loss to Donald Trump while many others think that the Vermont senator would have done much better in the general election. 
Sanders is the last to drop out of  what was once a huge Democratic field.  This clears the way for former Vice President Joe Biden.
