New York Daily News unsubtly nudges Bernie Sanders toward the exit on front page


Democrats are starting to nudge Sen. Bernie Sanders out of the Democratic presidential race, with two of his top supporters in Congress saying the race is over and others, including presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton and President Obama, saying it is time to unite the party to beat presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. Most Democrats aren't calling for Sanders to drop out right away. The New York Daily News sure seems to be, on its Thursday front page no less:
The Daily News endorsed Clinton in the New York Democratic primary, and some of its headline writers are also apparently fans of '80s popular cinema. And while this front page isn't very kind to Sanders, he got off easier than Paul Ryan and Donald Trump.
