... and that they were going to steal the nomination from HIM despite getting more pledge delegates....

And then proposing the exact same thing when he's losing pledged delegates hard instead.

Of course, I'm not counting anything he says as serious until after everyone, including DC, has voted and he's had time to come up with a proper concession. Right now the constant "Hillary will win anyway", even if true, has a tendency of suppressing voter turnout. If nothing else, Bernie has to show he's still fighting for his supporters, even in his concession when it happens.

And I don't expect he'll disappoint me by actually trying to contest the convention if an even split of all non-already announced Bernie superdelegates (so about 50 freebies) still gives Hillary 2383.
