He's actually defended her right to stay in the race. If you want to argue that the media or the party higher-ups forced her out of the race, fine, but don't place the blame on him.
I'm not. But the problem is, if the DLC people pressure her to bow out (which some have been), it's quite possible that many Clinton supporters will quit the party in disgust.
(And incidentally, if we're going to scrutinize word choice for sexism against Clinton, maybe we should consider the racial implications of using a loaded term like "stealing" in reference to a black man?)
