Bernie only had bare majorities in caucus states. While he could draw a crowd, it wasn't enough to win the nomination.

I am grateful he introduced some important topics into the national dialogue. And I agree with this article that he held out too long on conceding. But that's armchair quarterbacking. Who really knows. He could have conceded after Calif. and still fizzled out.
