Not that I think an indictment WILL happen, but if it did it would likely be in the general... Even thinking of things in a purely horse-race sense, by staying in his campaign maintains credibility in the event he has to throw something together at the last minute. At this point he's significantly better equipped than Biden, or Kerry or whomever would be. Additionally it's not like Bernie's been throwing curve balls at Hillary, basically everyone knows what he will hit Hillary on (I can pretty much mime his speech at this point), so I don't think he's REALLY damaging her, and hasn't been since probably March-ish.

Mess. Trump is the best thing to happen to Hillary and the democrats. He's literally the only candidate that has a higher unfabvorabilty rating than Hillary. Pretty sure the democrats aren't worried at all

The one thing I find simply mind boggling are the people (and media) who believe/pretend that the reason the republican establishment hates him is his racism/misogyny... As if that hasn't been the GOP's bread and butter for at least as long as I've been alive

Clearly they opposed him primarily because he will get murdered by either democrat in the general, while Cruz at times, and Kasich were projected to go toe to toe with the dems. If Hillary somehow screws this up...

I wonder if Bernie will team up on Hillary with Trump when he inevitably starts focusing all of his energy on her starting from tomorrow. How could Bernie keep attacking Hillary with Trump (while using similar arguments w/o the low blows) without looking like he's on Trump's side?

He can because they're the same arguments he's been making since like, August? It's not like he'll suddenly start praising Trump, he'll just rebuke them both as he's been doing the entire time. If it's not clear enough by now, the point of his campaign is furthering a true progressive agenda, not just getting any person with a D next to their name in office which has largely been the democratic agenda for decades now.
