He'll stay in until the convention, even though it's long been over. I don't have a problem with that. It's his right. His reasons aren't altruistic. He's an attention whore, and he's going to soak it up.

But can people STOP pretending like he can win? It's beyond annoying. The media, everyone..."well, if he just wins 100% of the vote on Saturday, it'll cut into her delegate lead, then momentum..." momentum is not a thing. Demographics drive this. And on April 19th and 26th there are 631 delegates in mostly closed primaries. He's going to get slaughtered. But for the next month, we're going to have everyone pretend that him feebly whittling down her delegate lead actually matters? SO ANNOYING.

Bernie can do whatever he wants, but the media pretending there is a viability here because horse race = ratings is just ridiculous.
