2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere is the Super Tuesday math:
Twelve states and one territory head to the polls today, in what could be the turning point in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Delegate counts and the latest polls show that Donald Trump could potentially clinch the Republican nomination this month if he does well.
Super Tuesday puts 24 percent of the GOPs delegates up for grabs; Trump currently has 81 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win his partys nomination.
A good day for Hillary Clinton could widen her currently narrow lead over Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders.
Almost 1,000 delegates will be awarded among the Democrats today; Clinton already has 544 of the 2,382 needed to head to the general election.

(146,297 posts)I don't count them during the primary campaign, only the proportionally allocated pledged delegates. Clinton will widen her lead in pledged delegates today by a goodly amount. That's what really matters.
By the convention, it will be very clear who is the winner in the primaries. The superdelegates will simply follow the will of the voters, in the end. I do doubt that many will have to change their current voting intentions, though.
