I argued last week that with no clear path to victory he can't simply milk this forever.

If it's clear he can't win he will have to get out. Or, he will see his standing deteoriate. After all, why continue to attack her when you can't win?
Doesn't that just help a well rested Trump?
Now here is a clear sign of this in a comment a Bernie supporter named David Polston left at Huffington Post:
"Bernie ran a great race and I supported him all the way. Now that Hillary has basically won the democratic primary(with probably a huge Super Tuesday win), it's time to rally around her and get her and the democrats in office. Congratulations Hillary Clinton!"

Look, you get the HA Goodman types who say Bernie or bust but there are also a lot like Polston out there. By the way, his comment got 1183 likes.
The drumbeat is only going to get louder.

I mean I agree he's run a great campaign. He's had a real impact. But going forward, there is nothing more he can gain. I think if he keeps pushing this beyond when he can win he loses a lot of credibility.
Democrats are going to get irritated with him.
P.S. My praise of him here isn't insincere. If nothing else he forced her to be a better candidate. She's better off now than if she had just nominal opposition. Her buddy Eric Boehlert a year ago had said she needed a tough primary fight.
She's always at her best then.
