2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders withholds "endorsement" until Clinton "takes steps to win his confidence" [View all]Miles Archer

The winner doesn't get to dictate to the loser, either.
I'm sure that when he referenced Clinton "taking steps," he said that with zero expectation of any steps being taken.
I think last night was a final goodbye between two people who are never going to see eye to eye, regardless of which one is the winner and which one is the loser.
