Hillary Clinton walloped Bernie Sanders in the final Democrat primary in D.C. last night.
She and Sanders also had a 90-minute one-on-one meeting yesterday, presumably to discuss his exit strategy and what he wants to see incorporated into the Democratic platform (see post 1119) in order to endorse Hillary for President.
In addition to what's listed in post 1119, Sanders wants to see changes made to the party's voting processes. He wants to see Super Delegates eliminated, wants the primaries to be open (so Independents can vote too), wants more voter-friendly voting times and access, and really wants the DNC to dump Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as the chairperson (she says she ain't leaving -- too bad).
Anyway, it's looking like Bernie and his earned delegates are going to the convention and will push for the changes he's seeking after all. I don't know what he's gonna do til then, but he may well wait until after after the convention to get behind Clinton. He's not going down quietly.
