My calling for him to drop out has nothing to do with his odds at securing the nomination compared to the other republicans that already dropped out. Bernie is done as far as the primary goes. Why do you think he's going around harping about the super delegates? His campaign is literally grasping at straws right now trying to find reasons to stay in it.
It's more so about delaying party unification with a disgusting wild card GOP nominee that defies conventional wisdom.

You brought up Kasich dropping out as a trigger for people to view Bernie as "desperate" for staying in the race when the situation is
completely different. The reason those numbers are relevant is because Kasich had absolutely no chance in securing the party's nomination by the pledged delegate process without a brokered convention (he was less than 10% on track to winning the nomination) while Bernie is currently around 90%+ on target to secure the nomination. Of course Hillary is far more likely to be the Democratic nominee, but unlike on the GOP side, Hillary is not the universally presumptive winner and doesn't have a Trump-like lead on her opponent. It isn't desperate for Bernie to be staying
at this point, especially after re-energizing his campaign with his Indiana upset.
I'm also glad Democratic voters disagree with you and don't view him as desperate for staying in.
