A lot of his fans will go mental if he does.

Yes. But he'll likely want her to adapt some of his policies (maybe free public college, overturning Citizens United - something she supports anyways - and single payer healthcare). I don't see why she shouldn't meet him halfway since not only will she need his supporters, but she needs a clearer message other than "let's continue Obama's policies". That's not going to get the base out to vote and a lot of voters are going to be looking for something different after 8 years of Obama.
It's pretty obvious he'll support her though. He's just staying in this to make sure the party begins listening to the other side of the party as well and find a compromise.
Anyways, I've fully come around the acceptance stage of Hillary being the nominee. But like I've said before, I still want Bernie to win some states so he can have more clout going into the convention.
