16. I think he has more to lose than Bernie has to gain by an endorsement

Same as with Warren. That is to say, I think that for those whom Jesse Jackson is still relevant and for whom his endorsement would have much meaning beyond being a symbolic gesture, they are already with Bernie. Most others would simply greet it with, "Oh, isn't that nice." As for Jesse, it could result in being left out in the cold in the smaller black corners of the establishment. But that's just my guess; obviously I could be totally wrong. As long as he continues to not endorse Hillary (again, like Warren), it's nearly as good as an endorsement for Bernie.
