I'm not sure why he would bother to do this if he weren't planning on at least conceding in some way. My theory is that he knows dropping out in front of a live crowd wouldn't go over well, and he won't have to deal with people booing Clinton if he speaks in this format. Time will tell, I suppose.

Well, I'm not sure what the point of this was...

I think he made many good points in his speech, but the time really has come for him to bow out. His revolution will only be able to continue if keeps his supporters involved through November. Contesting the convention and inevitably losing isn't going to accomplish that, and he obviously realizes that. I'm not sure what his thinking is, at this point.

Some Clinton folks are overreacting, but honestly, I understand where they're coming from. If Sanders had clearly won, but Clinton was still refusing to endorse him at this point, no doubt many Sanders supporters would be getting impatient with her. If Bernie really does take it to the convention, I'm going to be really disappointed.
