Bernie Sanders continues to fight for the Democratic nomination, even as it appears that Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and both political parties have moved on to the general election.

In a statement, Sen. Sanders said:

I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump’s foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible. But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences.

We need a foreign policy based on building coalitions and making certain that the brave American men and women in our military do not get bogged down in perpetual warfare in the Middle East. That’s what I will fight for as president.

Bernie Sanders is still continuing to fight for the Democratic nomination, even though it is clear that Democrats have largely moved on. Sanders has vowed to keep fighting until the superdelegates get their say, but the reality is that the only chance that Bernie Sanders has is to hope that superdelegates overturn the will of the majority of Democratic voters and hand him the nomination.

The reality is that Sanders is asking the superdelegates to do exactly what he has been arguing against. Sanders has argued that the Democratic nominating process needs to be more open, which it does, but he is also arguing that the same process should give him the Democratic nomination.

Sen. Sanders continues to fight for delegates, as he should, but the reality is that the Iraq war vote card seems to have expired. Democrats have moved on, and while Sanders has some very valid foreign policy points, the majority of voters and delegates have chosen Hillary Clinton.

Sanders deserves credit for his campaign, but he is fighting a battle that most view as already lost.
