I think SBS is stalling with a concession out of fear of his supporters reaction.

95. The Big "Democracy for the People" Project Bernie initiated is helped by his staying in.

Sanders gets to demonstrate where and how strong the support is for anti-Neoliberal Democrats.

Sanders also gets to keep expanding and refining his database re the support of those people... in all 50 states and the territories.

The knowledge gained by staying in will help the Big Project organize to be a force in the 2018 mid-terms.

If people would stop being myopic looking at party loyalty for Nov as the only issue and just pause for a few minutes to look at the political landscape, they'd notice what is already obvious:

-MANY- of the most easily turned 30-ish Republican Congressional seats are in the non-urban counties that have gone heavily for Sanders and are in states that were won by Sanders.

Building a movement that will win those seats -IS- the "Big Project" it is important. Revealing where and how strong the anti-Neoliberal democrats are in the remaining primaries and caucuses is critically important to actionable plans for the 2018 midterms.

I'm not at all surprised Sanders is going to stay in until the end. It's exactly what the Big Projects leader needs to do with the leverage he's created in a very very remarkable campaign.
