18. I don't feel that strongly either way.

I think his not dropping out is sorta circling the drain compared to Hillary dropping out with much less between her and Obama.

I also wonder if it might hurt Hillary's chances with a divided party in a small way. I think the biggest concern might be that it shortens the time window within which some of the most die-hard Bernie fans have to come around to accepting Hillary. Yeah, some never will but more will given a longer window of time.

These concerns above might be grave ones in a normal election but I just can't imagine Trump winning against either candidate. I guess time will tell but I know that peer pressure accounts for a lot and the Trumpeters are going to get a lot louder on the social media in the GE and those of us who have them in our network circles are going to weigh in.
