This thing is as good as over. Bernie will not be the nominee. His "promise" to take it all the way to the convention floor will not help him, nor will it help the party, nor will it help to defeat the GOP.

I hopeful that he and his supporters will accept REALITY sooner rather than later.

It's not helping him, or to defeat the GOP, but I don't see that it's overly harming the eventual race anyway. We'll tie a bow on this by June.

Right now, the rhetoric from his campaign is the "keep fighting" line. Next Tuesday, after he might win three to her much larger states, more likely to be blowout elections three, the rhetoric will be the same.

Post March 15th? At that point I expect we'll start seeing it change.

...instead of backhandedly attacking Hillary Clinton and the DNC. By now he knows he's toast and his fantasy of revolution is just that. He needs to start emphasizing how his supporters and Democrats stand a better chance to knock off some of his progressive goals together.

if he did shift his message, but...well, he's given no indication that he's going to, or that he actually does support Democrats. Quite the opposite.

...Super Tuesday except for Maine, where there is no projection yet.
