I don't think Bernie plans to ever leave the race....

He's finding the attention too intoxicating. Once Hillary is declared presumptive nominee, most of the media will stop paying attention to him. He will then start going on Faux News and the ilk to whine about how unfairly he was treated. He doesn't have the resources and doesn't want to do the hard work for an independent run, so he's just going to keep pretending he's also running with Hillary and Trump

I guess even some have their limits when it comes to being bamboozled.

I'm really to focus on the General Election...we need a little rest, regrouping before the next Campaign War... Shameful of Sanders for his selfishness.

With a slate of candidates like this... He must...

Here is a recent report on Hillary... She has much worse ahead...

MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

I can't predict exactly when it will be, but the time will come when he believes that his campaign is costing him more than it is worth. He's a politician and he's sensitive to the legacy that he will leave. He wants his campaign to leave a dignified memory.

He also has a lot of supporters with strong feelings. There are Californians who have worked long and hard for Sanders. He wants them to have their day, to show what they can do on June 7.

One way or another, it will all be over soon. Is everyone really anxious to become involved in what will probably be the ugliest general election campaign in history? When that's over and Trump is forced to make the concession speech that just isn't in him, we're going to have to deal with the ugliness of all those millions of disappointed Trump fans who will be even uglier in defeat.

It's going to be a cold winter, I'm afraid.
