He won't raise money for other Democrats. He's pretty much indifferent to the rest of what he says is his party-nod, nod, wink, wink.
Yesterday I pointed out that, say what you want about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, at least she raises a lot of money for the Democratic party.

Yesterday on Rachel we saw the difference between Hillary and Bernie yet again.

Yesterday on Rachel we saw the difference between Hillary and Bernie yet again.
"For example, Clinton, who has helped Democratic campaign committees and state parties raise money for the 2016 elections, twice emphasized how important she believes it is to help congressional Democrats. Sanders, an independent, is taking a wait-and-see approach.
MADDOW: I have to ask, though, if you have thought about whether or not you will, at some point, turn your fundraising ability toward helping the Democratic Party more broadly, to helping their campaign committees for the House and the Senate and for other – for other elections?"
SANDERS: Well, right now, Rachel, as you are more than aware, our job is to – what I’m trying to do is to win the Democratic nomination. […]
MADDOW: Well, obviously your priority is the nomination, but I mean you raised Secretary Clinton there. She has been fundraising both for the nomination and for the Democratic Party. At some point, do you think – do you foresee a time during this campaign when you’ll start doing that?
SANDERS: Well, we’ll see. And, I mean right now, again, our focus is on winning the nomination.
This is a pretty important difference, which I suspect some party officials – i.e., superdelegates – noticed.

Again, forget about 'momentum.' The super delegates aren't going to Bernie. Just look at who's raising money for the party and who is all about himself.
As Rachel later said, Bernie also seemed a little peevish with all the coverage being 'wasted' on Trump's comment about a punishment for women who receive abortions. He felt it was a distraction for his message of the big banks and income inequality. Kind of again shows why Planned Parenthood endorsed Hillary.
