Sanders is more than likely going to concede in the next few days, as early as tomorrow, and he will endorse Clinton as he's often said he would.

Since Merkley endorsed Sen. Sanders he's spoken out for Hillary much more than he has for Sanders. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too. This is nothing. He endorsed Bernie because of the voters in Oregon. We are not fooled by what he is doing.

First and foremost.

He wants to protect his job and his position. I'm sure this was part of the deal in him being "allowed" to stick his neck out for Sanders.

also screaming that 2383 is the number of delegates needed to win.

And when nice, smart people try to tell them that the 2383 number they keep screaming INCLUDES superdelegates and that for the pledged delegates, the number is 2026 which means she only needs about 212 pledged delegates to win, they suddenly accuse you of being smug or "suppressing turn out." This thing ending tonight would be marvelous, grand with me. I'm really tired of the hysteria, the conspiracies and the almost brain bleeding ignorance.

Earn our votes or don't. Makes little difference. We're not going anywhere.
