If he drops out, that's it for the Democratic primary—Clinton will spend the next couple months using GIFs to insult the Republicans and stockpiling super PAC money for the inevitable wave of hate and negativity of the general election. If he stays in, Clinton will almost certainly get the nomination anyway, but at least Democrats in the remaining states will have a chance to voice their displeasure with Clinton's hawkishness, the donations she has received in the past from Wall Street, or simply the whole political system that she represents.
