Right. So all of his delegates are still his. The weirdness would kick in if Biden drops out while Bernie is still officially a candidate. It is my understanding that state rules would then apply. Some states would make the former Biden delegates free agents. But some reallocate them to the remaining candidates. The rules are quite intricate.

So I’m thinking MrEdd might be right. Bernie wouldn’t have enough delegates on his own to take the nomination. But if he gets enough of those reallocated delegates...maybe.

Pretty much.
But then who will the Bernie Bros vote for if they think Bernie has been screwed?
They don’t like Hilary Clinton in tge first place.
