Obama seems to have decided that it’s time to throw Bernie under the bus:

n unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was nearing the point at which his campaign against Hillary Clinton would end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.
Yesterday Bernie spoke with Rachel Maddow and made some important points when she asked if he’s planning to drop out of the race. Bernie said that sticking with it all the way to the convention will help energize the base and ensure a good turnout in November. He said that voters need to see a vigorous fight between candidates because that will make them more enthusiastic about the election.
I believe that Bernie is right. Success in November is more likely if he stays in the race. His campaign has been a godsend to the party because it would have been absolutely impossible to attract any media attention if the race were between Hillary and O’Malley.

I personally know Bernie supporters who said they will not support Clinton if she gets the nomination and I know people who actually registered with the party when they were independent.
The guy understands the Overton Window which so many people do not. Then again Clinton calls her rally “Get Out the Vote” and Sanders calls his “A Future to Believe In”. When I mention GoTV, Real ID and Election Protection I get blank looks from people who undoubtedly read all of these progressive publications or they skip right over the comment.
