2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe majority of the faithful are losing or have lost hope, when do you predict Bernie will concede?
After looking through reddit, pro-Bernie sites, FB and other places where Bernie supporters congregate... very few are holding on to the idea that Bernie has any chance of winning the nomination outside of an unlikely Hillary indictment. The media is also pulling no punches in saying the race is over. It's going to be pretty much impossible for Bernie to carry on the charade that he has any realistic chance of winning. When do you think he's going to finally throw in the towel?
My prediction is it will probably be before the vote totals come in from DC... but looking at the demographics, he's going to get blown out of the water, so not sure he'll have a chance to get ahead of that announcement... but around that time, it will be painfully obvious he has absolutely no path to victory and he'll have to try to save face soon. Dragging it on to the convention will just make him a pariah, I think he's smart enough to avoid that.
