Bernie, and many of his supporters like myself know that it’s over but:
He specifically mentioned taking the battle to next week’s final primary in Washington D.C., thereby assuring those who have worked hard for him there that they will be counted.
He has bought himself a week in which to determine how to maximize his leverage on the party. Back door negotiations are said to be already underway. Conceding without serious assurances that his positions will influence the party platform would be foolish. He might even demand such things as veto power over v.p. choices.
Barring any real bitterness toward Hillary, his influence over his supporters will be used to maximum effect in the coming weeks or at the convention.
