This is so unnecessary. The OP should really self-delete. Not least of which because that Politico article has been discussed into the ground already.

I believe with surety this is what will happen:

1. Bernie will continue his campaign until the DC primary is complete. He has said all along that he will continue until everyone's had the chance to vote. In the context of this, his "when I'm president" comment that many Hillary supporters object to from his DC rally makes perfect sense. All candidates use phrases like that. He is still campaigning - he has not suspended. Therefore, it's appropriate.

2. When DC is over, Bernie will take a day/a few days. After that, he will endorse Hillary, take some time to rest, and then get out there on the stump for her/the Dems.

I have no reason to doubt this is his course of action. If he continues to campaign directly against Hillary after DC...well then, we've got a problem and I will start to doubt his commitment to the party and to defeating Trump. But NOTHING in his actions has led me to believe he won't honor his promises.
