He backed Biden and Clinton AFTER it was clear he wasn't getting the DNC nod.

There was a 3 month period where Sanders was in the lead, but everyone ASSUMED someone would beat him. Biden almost dropped out. Then suddenly Biden gets all these big wins, and does a comeback that could be its own movie if other political shit from our current time period weren't so absurd.

The big wins came after the other moderates dropped out to get out of his way after he won in South Carolina. After that, South Carolina was rewarded with being the state that goes first in future primaries.
