Despite crushing California results, despite insurmountable delegate math and growing pleas that he end his quest for the White House, Bernie Sanders took to the stage in Santa Monica and basked, bragged and vowed to fight on.

In a speech of striking stubbornness, he ignored the history-making achievement of Hillary Clinton, who became the first woman in American history to clinch the presidential nomination of a major political party.

Tuesday was, undeniably, Mrs. Clinton’s night, a milestone for women in politics ...

But ... all eyes were on Mr. Sanders. Would he be generous or petulant? 

[H]e was grudging toward Mrs. Clinton, passing up a chance to issue a salute that many had expected and craved.

David Gergen worried that Sanders was becoming “a grumpy old man.” [Yep!]
