(7,629 posts)I am more skeptical now. I think he has boxed himself into a corner now and he may find it hard to do so. No doubt some of his more passionate supporters and staff egged him on. They thought the dnc would yield and meet his demands but that has not happened. He is starting to get ridiculed on the media, trump is self destructing so Bernie can not even make the electability argument anymore. He is fading from the media as attention is turning to the GE and of course Orlando. He missed yet another opportunity to rally with his colleagues during the gun fillibuster.

(9,313 posts)He already ceased running against Hillary.
He already made it clear he's going the the convention with his delegates, not for the nomination, but to demonstrate the depth of support for "the most progressive platform ever passed by the Democratic Party. A platform which makes it crystal clear that the Democratic Party is on the side of working people." He's not "quitting" on that goal.
The question is, to what extent will he voice support for Hillary? Call on voters to fight to elect Dems to all levels of government in Nov -- including electing Hillary to presidency? Or what?
We'll find out in three hours.

(68,576 posts)ah, the much hoped for indictment fairy...once Clinton is the nominee, it won't matter should anything happen which it won't ...her VP would run and it won't be Bernie.
