All the candidates dropping out to endorse the guy who had thus far been pretty much last was quite the maneuver indeed.
The only things to add would be Warren staying in the race through Super Tuesday. Her supporters would say she was trying to spark a contested convention where she thought she would win the gamble. Her opponents would say she stayed in too long and just worked to keep Sanders campaign from having momentum and kept the left disorganized and divided after the Biden camp drew lines and consolidated.
That and the Clyburn maneuver: Sanders was toast. But that's how shit went down and we all kinda lost.
