For a man who wasn't even in the Democratic party.

He can fight tooth and nail to the convention and beyond. HRC gets nomination and wins most likely.

Sanders at this point will be totally marginalized in the Senate.

OR

He accepts defeat and works to elect HRC.

Now he assumes a leadership role in the Senate and the President takes his calls right away.

Which does he choose?
