The only way he looses now is a split convention with the party establishment choosing someone more favorable to establishment interests. At that point why should he support the chosen nominee? Trump was never really committed to supporting the chosen candidate and only said that when he was strong armed into it so I'm not at all surprised here it's not really much of a change for him. Anyway a split ticket on the republican side could open the opportunity for sanders to run as an independent. I don't think he would but he could use it as means to setup a democratic socialist party. Even if he doesn't win he will get enough money and votes to establish a viable 3rd party.
