4. At This Point, Bernie Sanders Would Want to Just Cancel Primaries...

...before Biden reaches 1991, then argue that he would have gotten to 1991 if they had not cancelled before the June deadline for selecting delegates. Yes, this would be incredibly disruptive, but Bernie does not care, because he is not a Democrat and is just in this to make himself the center of attention.
