“I am far less concerned with when he ends his campaign than how he ends it,” added a Colorado Democrat. “After [California and New Jersey], the reality will be apparent, and moving forward, he has earned the right to stay in this race, but he's got to do it in a way that doesn't put the general election at risk.”

While Sanders’ supporters are underrepresented on the Caucus panel, some of those who responded to the survey are rooting from him, as one Nevada Democrat put it, “Take it all the way to the convention in Philly!”..........................

It's laughable when people like Barbara Boxer and Howard Dean swallow their words and pretend that they think that "he should stay in the race he earned it" when they are really thinking...(well you know what they are thinking because they are starting to look like they are being held hostage). He is barely being tolerated by everyone but his base and Donald Trump at this point. As the days go by things are only going to get worse for him.
