12. Unfortuately Sanders is going to in the race for a long time

Probably all the way to the convention. I think I understand what motivates him. It is all about making sure Hillary can't pivot to the towards the middle (as she will need to do eventually in order to win the GE) and, more importantly to Bernie, its about getting his message of economic inequality out for as long as he can. He is a "true believer". The only question is how long he can continue to bring in contributions once it become evident he is going to lose.

PS: I hope I'm wrong.
