For all those demanding that it is time for Bernie Sanders to drop out of the presidential race, I'd like to call your attention to the infamous "non-concession speech" Hillary Clinton gave when it became clear that Barack Obama had won the Democratic nomination in 2008.

Note also her pledge not to make any decisions that night. Sanders may have a tough road ahead (especially if provisional ballots are never counted), but it is not an impossible road.
