Tuesday's primary elections in Indiana knocked out Ted Cruz and John Kasich, but Bernie Sanders isn't going anywhere," Stephen Colbert said on Thursday's Late Show. "Of course he's not dropping out, he's living every old person's dream: Wherever he goes, thousands of grandkids show up to listen to his stories." Colbert celebrated Sanders staying in until the convention by convincing CBS to spring for a real video game based on the fake one Colbert debuted on his show recently. If you go to the site for "Bubble Burst Bernie," Colbert said, "you can control Bernie Sanders — so billionaires are not allowed to play. Go on there and see if you can beat the high score. Of course, thanks to Hillary Clinton's superdelegates, you never can." Play here, and watch below. Peter Weber
