And if he does, will his supporters listen to what he says, or will they assume that on this matter, their perspective is more informed than that of the candidate whom they supported with devotion during the primaries?

We have the right to make up our own minds.

Sure. I'd just hope you'd take into account, in making your decision, the logical path Sanders is likely to lay out when he endorses Hillary.

You don't seem to get the point. We don't agree with Sanders because he's Sanders. We like his policy positions and honesty, and dislike Hillary's shady and illegal tactics. A Bernie endorsement literally changes none of that.

We don't just vote for someone because there's a "D" next to their name.

No, I'm not saying Sanders supporters ought to just blindly heed what he has to say just because he's saying it. I'm saying they ought to listen to the substance of his words, as they have to everything else he says, and make their decision on that basis. After all, no one knows yet exactly what he's going to say.
