So his debate was 4D chess, saying none but god almighty would get him to step aside?

I'm glad he did, and it's commendable, but I don't think this was a master plan. It was responsible resignation in the face of an unwinnable fight

Look at it this way: if it was the intention all along, how else would you convincingly play it?

The goal is to get the Republicans locked on Trump and save the Democrats from the infighting that cost them 2016.

I couldn't come up with a better plan if I tried.

Yes you could. If he bailed three months earlier, for example.
