He said he was going to wait until after everyone had voted.  For some reason he's stubbornly insisted that that include the 0.000001% of the population that lives in DC so he can get crushed by sixty points tomorrow.  OK, fine.  But is he going to go home tomorrow (Not "drop out" because there's no race left for him to drop out of) or will he continue to pretend he's in the race, hold rallies or whatever he'll do?  I don't even know what he'd do.  Whatever.  I'm out of speculation.  But he should get out.  He'll really, really, really embarrass himself if he gives another speech saying he's staying in.

My guess is tomorrow or Wednesday. If you read between the lines, you can tell that his recent statements suggest that he's on his way out. Well, he's probably not done with being involved in this race, just that he's done campaigning as a candidate.

Yeah he hasn't done much this week to get under my skin.  Apparently he gave a speech today or yesterday saying he was going to take it to the convention?  But I only know that because someone posted a link to it on Facebook with the typical stupid caption, didn't hear about it in the news at all.

He needs to get out though, the race can't really start until he's gone.  Hillary's already running full sprint but it's like she forgot to tie one of her shoes or something, just not the complete experience until Bernie's officially in the ground and not threatening to stir up even more primary sh*t in the middle of July or something.

^He's talked about taking "issues" to the convention. I'm pretty sure he means influencing the platform, rather than actually contesting the convention. We'll know more tomorrow, though.

He will "end his campaign", but promise to take his ideas to the convention where he will endorse Hillary in a big speech.

DC has more people and voters than Wyoming and Vermont, so it probably looks pretty big to Bernie.

Yes, because the point of politics is to make the guy who the deluge thread is named after happy.

If he's not going the endorsement and withdraw route, then he should just stop campaigning and wait for the movement to die down. He can then pop back up in a month or so, perhaps a week before the convention and say that he supports Clinton.

In fact, I actually think that would be a rather good idea. His more die hard supporters will need a little while to cool off, and actively campaigning or making yourself a presence before an endorsement won't help the process of reconciliation.

Probably Thursday, however I am guessing he will be on the campaign trail for Clinton.

Well, there was no rally, he's sent no fundraising emails, and most of his staff has been sent home.
