3. I've stopped engaging.

Just let them have their fantasies of a miracle. On June 7 it will be OVER. Hillary will be the presumptive nominee, officially.

And despite all the talk about taking it to the convention, I don't think that will happen; mainly because so far Sanders has had the carrot of future primaries to keep people interested and donating. "We lost tonight...donate to make sure we win the next one!" Or, "We won tonight! Donate to keep the momentum going!" Once there are no primaries, people will lose interest, they won't be donating, and they will be ready to turn to the General. There will be a few diehards but almost all will come around.
