Senator Bernie Sanders scored a major victory in his fight against the Clinton political machine Tuesday night in the Indiana primary. Even with that victory the Hillary Clinton friendly media is still calling for Sanders to suspend his campaign and drop out of the race. “Staying in this race, aren't you effectively making it harder for the Democrats to beat the man who you say would be so bad?” inquired CNN’s Dana Bash to Sanders over the phone.

“Well, you’ve already conceded the race for me and I don’t accept that concession. Thank you Dana, but I don’t quite agree with you. We are in this race to win,” responded the Democratic underdog. Sanders has gotten used to having to fend off the media who favor Clinton over him. Bash commented that it was charming that he wants the remaining states to have a voice but, “tonight we have a new political reality as Jake was just saying, where you have a presumptive Republican nominee and a general election for him is very much beginning.
