He gets credit for pushing some talking points and policy proposals to the forefront, but as a candidate he does more damage than good. He will not bow out until he's forced to, continues to whine about a party he wasn't part of until he ran for president not supporting him, and his supporters are so toxic they push people away from the party. He's also refused to say he'll support the dem nominee. That's a softball question that he failed. Not a surprise at all that few in the party like him.
His supporters will whine again when he loses and bitch about the process being rigged. They won't be able to convince themselves that Trump is closer to their ideals than Biden (or whoever wins) this time so it will be interesting to see how those that choose to stay home rationalize it.
