Sanders's refusal to concede is only fueling the delusions of his supporters

No wonder they are creating so many ridiculous conspiracy theories: they are getting plenty of encouragement from their candidate.

If Sanders had any class or sense he would graciously concede. But I don't think that that is the case. To think that I used to really like and respect that man! Ugh...

I don't know what's worse, the idea that he expects it, or the idea that he thinks he'll get President Obama and Harry Reid to make Clinton pick him.

Maybe there will be an opening somewhere at the Vatican?

the presumptive Democratic nominee who's won by ALL metrics - even the almost impossible metric of solely pledged delegates. This will go a long way to having people accept that the primaries are over and stem the CTs from Sanders supporters.

Every contest has been rigged. Every precinct has had votes miscounted. Everyone has treated him unfairly. Yada, yada, yada. Bitch, moan, complain, lather, rinse, repeat.

The media is beginning to ignore him. In a two way race, there will be a winner and a loser. He's not the winner.

And that is what will really end it for him if the reality of mathematics doesn't.

You can't pay bills with cries of "revolution!"
