(2,792 posts)He isn't going to stop now. His fundamental resentment goes deeper than winning or losing a primary.
He has become too attached to his anger to let go of it. He wants to destroy the Democratic party and then recreate it in his own image.
He is being consumed by his own rage. I do not think that anyone, including President Obama and Secretary Clinton, will be able to talk him out of his self-destructive mission to destroy the Democratic party.
He doesn't seem to have objective close friends, who are concerned about his "obsessive" behavior and might be able to reason with him. I also see no inclination on the part of his wife Jane to intervene to end Bernie's self-contradictory "vendetta."
It seems that neither he nor anyone close to him sees the futility of his continuing to throw punches after the fight has been called in his opponent's favor.
