I really don't see that happening. I think they are sincere about riding this out until June.
As a Clinton supporter, I actually think that's better for Hillary to be honest, because if there is no more Democratic primary, then all we get is Trump 24/7 until the GOP convention. As long as there are at least nominally contested Democratic primaries, they still get some press coverage. As I've said several times now, Bernie does not need to concede, he's absolutely earned the right to remain in the race. He just needs to pull himself out of the gutter and go back to a principled discussion of his differences with Hillary and more importantly, the differences between the Democrats and the Republicans.
And the reality is that Bernie is going to take some states out of what's left. His supporters have a right to cast those votes for a candidate who is still in the race. But tearing down the eventual nominee and making it harder for her to win the general election is not the right way to go about that. 2008 was very hard fought and even nasty at times too, but when it became clear she wasn't going to win, Hillary started to pivot before all the primary contests were over.

Hillary will get coverage regardless. If Sanders ended his campaign after next Tuesday, at the very least that can give Hillary some time to recharge her batteries
Rhode Island is going to be a cluster. They thought things went so well in Arizona that they'd do the same thing and they are only have 1/3 of the polling locations open. And they award delegates in stages so only 15 out of their 24 delegates get awarded next week and the other 9 come from their state convention.

You're right but at this point RI's 24 delegates won't make a spit's worth of difference at the convention.

Seems like it's the only primary state that doesn't pledge all its pledged delegates to primary results >.>
