Don't Be 'Absurd': Sanders Rejects Establishment Calls to Drop Revolutionary Bid

Calls for him to drop out of the presidential race are "absurd," Bernie Sanders said Thursday, following reports that political heavy hitters including President Barack Obama are urging Democrats to rally around rival Hillary Clinton as the nominee. The Missouri primary was called Thursday evening in Clinton's favor, meaning that she swept this week's contests and leading her campaign to declare Clinton has an "almost insurmountable" lead in pledged delegates. Corporate media has largely parroted that narrative.
