Intimating that they're aiming for a brokered convention to snatch the nomination even if Senator Sanders doesn't get a majority or plurality of the delegates. While I really doubt the convention would end up nominating him, it signals that he and his campaign might be open to refusing to put their support behind the presumptive nominee when such a nominee crystalizes. Getting a clear and full-throated support behind our nominee as soon as the results are undisputable (thank goodness California moved up its primary) will be essential in 2020.

The figures in post #5 indicate that it is likely Sanders would have won.
