Why I think Bernie Sanders will drop out and endorse Hillary Clinton soon
Updated by Matthew Yglesias on June 1, 2016, 7:00 a.m. ET @mattyglesias [e-mail]

Sanders's left flank will peel away

At the same time as the more establishment-oriented wing of the Sanders movement abandons him in favor of Clinton, the more radical wing will also abandon him.

Sanders's core voting base in the primary has come from young people who probably didn't participate in the 2000 campaign. But several of Sanders's more prominent surrogates — people like Cornel West and Susan Sarandon — are longtime critics of the Democratic Party who backed Ralph Nader back then.

Once it's clear that Sanders has lost the nomination, Sanders's elite Democratic supporters will rally behind Clinton, the Democratic nominee.

And once it's clear that Sanders has lost the nomination, Sanders's elite anti-Democratic supporters will rally behind Jill Stein, the Green Party spoiler du jour.

1. It's not true. Many millions and many over 45 many. Not just the young.

3. Many millions???? Many over 45??? You are dreaming.

Only the most far left of those over 45 support Bernie.

2. Since only those in total denial will not admit that HRC will have the delegates before CA

I would not be surprised that if she did win CA too, and especially in a big way, that Bernie would begin to start to fade away. Hell, his campaign is broke.

5. Hillary is not going to win California.

Her campaign is in full panic mode over the prospect of losing in CA.

7. Yes she will and I'm Bernie supporter from California.

9. What do you think that shit show in NV was all about?

Increased ad spending in CA? Hillary's last-minute campaigning? They know CA is in play.

10. She will win by 8 plus points, not because she's loved but because people want to vote for what they

perceive is the winning candidate.

4. Makes sense

It seems like it's already starting. People are just getting anxious and this thing needs to be over.

6. I hope West does bolt and endorse Jill Stein.

that way he is guaranteed to get kicked off the platform committee

8. That would be great!
