His next best hope is maybe be picked as a VP.

 I doubt it.  He'll be looking for a congressional or senate seat next.

Well, Pete's platform was "Vote for me because I'm gay!".  That's not enough even to make far lefties vote for you.

Fivethirtyeight says Pete’s departure hurts Sanders and increases chance of brokered convention:

Some 3M people voted early in CA, I wonder how many pf those voted for Mayor Pete or Steyer and have now wasted those votes. Personally, I think the early vote should go bye-bye.

 If you noticed they never shut down their campaign, they suspend it.   By suspending the campaign they can continue collecting votes in a extreme chance they may come out at the end.

 Yea, I know, but this is a democrat primary.

I suspect another reason for to "suspend" a campaign relates to how funds can be collected and continue to be spent.

There actually IS one practical consideration.  Namely, how much respect would America get from Muslim countries, friend or foe, with a gay president?

Past female leaders of Muslim countries:

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto
Indonesia’s President Megawati Sukarnoputri
and so on - Wikipedia has a list of first women to head Muslim majority countries:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_first_women_heads_of_government_and_state_in_Muslim-majority_countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_first_women_heads_of_government_and_state_in_Muslim-majority_countries)

Also, a fair number of western countries have been headed by women, so male sexist leaders, of Muslim or other predilections, have had to come to terms. Respect is probably earned on case by case basis of which gender is but one decision element.

Last projection by fivethirtyeight for super Tuesday:

Biden appears to be surging and they project Biden picking up more delegates than Sanders.
The chances for each of the following to enter the convention with a majority are now estimated as follows:

61%: No candidate.
31%: Biden.
8%: Sanders.

She brings nothing. Her state is solid democrat.   And she is not very well liked.   

A VP needs to bring something to the ticket. Texas and Florida are needed to win.  This is why I think Joaquin Castro comes into play, he gets the Hispanic vote, and possibly wins Texas. 

This is also why Camel Toe (Willy Brown’s Chew Toy) won’t make a VP slot, The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia is solid democrat.

I can't figure out why the Democrats all of a sudden want Biden so much.  Do they think he can beat Trump?  Are they going to put a women in as VP who would take over for Biden?  Personally, I don't think Biden has a chance I hell.

Translation:

No need for primary rallies featuring Biden and Sanders which should eliminate repeated gaffs.

Also, berate Trump to stop his rallies so we don’t see 10-15,000 seat arenas full of Trump supporters.

Oh, and we can blame it all on Coronavirus.

 Here's my thoughts.  The dims know they will have an almost impossible task defeating Trump, so in essence, it's a "throw away" election.

 Do you send one of your best to be defeated?  Of course not, you send in the third string chump and let him go down in flames.   Think back to the winners they sent up in elections past, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis.  Of course the republicans ran John McCain and Mitt Romney in the same category.

 Of course, there's always the slight chance something may fuck up and they get elected, but statistically and historically, not really.
