He looked on the verge of saying that. Would not be surprised if that comes in a few days. George II Jun 2016 #11
He was still saying that a candidate needed 2,383 delegates using just the pledged. LiberalFighter Jun 2016 #21

I saw this, too, George. He was drilled right off the bat about sexism and he had no cogent answer. He was angry he had to address that reporter. He really looks small.

This year so far, not counting the VI or Puerto Rico, there have been about 23 million votes - 13 million less than 2008. There will not be 13 million people voting tomorrow.

....when asked, he said to the effect "I'll have more to say about that after tomorrow". That is a LOT different than a simple "No".

He seems more than ready for it. He didn't even sound like he believed his own talking points on being the "better candidate" and flipping Supers. He just wants to make sure as many of his supporters still show up to vote, which is understandable. But you could feel from listening to him, he knows it's over.

He is actually trying to influence the public and to persuade them to back his quest to wrest the nomination from the legitimate winner?
Good grief. Someone should send in the white coats. He has lost it.

He sounded pretty taxed, and defeated.

I think in the next 48 hours he will turn that corner, emotionally, and move on to defeating Trump with our nominee.

he acquiesced! Good for her!

Also, he's being asked about his double-standard from how he perceived superdelegates helping Senator Obama in 2008 and how he's pooh-poohed them today! GOOD!

Also read that sources say that President Obama is ready to endorse Hillary Clinton!!

she attached the statement from Sanders on it, and also noted in her tweet that he made no reference at all to Hillary winning PR.

Just now, at Sanders' press conference, he tried to ignore a female reporter asking a question; she asked it anyway.
