But she was never irrational and Sanders is following a similar script when it comes to landing the plane.

Gotta stay in the fight because there's money to raise and debts to pay. Gotta change the nature of the fight because there's a common cause and a W to get.

I would have thought differently if Bernie had used the words, "contested convention" last night, but he didn't. In leaving that wording off the table, he basically tipped his hand to his plan. Collect votes all the way up to the convention, lean hard on the nominee and the party to make clear progressive policy goals, and keep raising money for the operation.

If he'd claimed a path or picked a fight, then I'd be worried. But he didn't and he won't. He's not magnanimous, but he's also not irrational.

And if you doubt my line of reasoning, ask yourself this...

If Bernie Sanders seriously thought he still had a clear path to the nomination, wouldn't he be spending all of his time in California? That's where the battle is and that's his last best hope of truly upsetting Clinton. If he were all in, he'd have to go insanely big there and leave Kentucky and Oregon (two states he'll already win) alone.
