Today was the last day his campaign can
even pretend to be viable.

forward to is november.

It would be great summer theater!

They aren't fair weather believers.

And it is not over until voters in every state weigh in.

Nominating is the the only thing that happens at the convention. We'll be working to get him every delegate possible. Each one is a challenge to the disastrous groupthink inside the beltway sphincter.

but as a practical matter, he has been finished for some time. Had he won the majority of delegates, as Obama eventually did in 2008, he would be in a position to be the nominee. But he has been trailing from the beginning as far as securing delegates, and his early bad mouthing of the super delegates is going to create an insurmountable obstacle to getting any more of them to change their positions.

I doubt very much that Sanders will suspend active campaigning.

The Clinton campaign should shift its focus to November and down tickets at this time.

I had early on thought that Sanders might be VP material, but apparently his positions over the years on a number of items (like fluoridation and the causes of cancer) and his being a real live communist loving socialist (yes, he has a long history of sucking up to Fidel Castro's brand of communism) make him a serious mill-stone if he is on the ticket. In order to bring the Sander's people along it may take more than Sander's endorsement after the convention, which is when it will come. Perhaps Warren on the ticket. Most of us would really like that.

Will he concede defeat?
