At this point Sanders staying in the race does nothing but help Trump. Besides the obvious way, in that Sanders is attacking Hillary, but isn't going to win the nomination, the idea is that Hillary has to "go more left" for the Sanders voters - who are going to vote for Hillary already. If she actually goes more left, she risks losing voters that are in the middle. And considering she is saying things like she wants a cabinet that's at least 50% female now, Sanders has the potential to do a lot of damage here.

? i'm not sure what your point is, as you said, they switched to obama in july as well, and bernie is ahead of the pace obama was as far as pledged delegates, and states won. so them switching is still very possible. i really could care less what the media has to say, liberal or not, the majority of reports haven't been trustworthy at any point in this race, and mostly patronizing towards the entire sanders following.

sanders supporters aren't going to vote for hillary, and if he doesn't win the nomination, with the understanding that he has had 65-70% of the independent vote, which is 48% of eligible voters in america, and he has won every open primary, there's no reason to not write him in in november as well.
