2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNew math! Bernie is actually WINNING the nomination! He is 72% there, Hil is 60%!
Since people are actually advocating that Superdelegates vote Bernie if Hillary falls short of securing the nomination with pledged delegates only, that means to win:
Hillary needs 2,384 pledged delegates, because no one supports her if she can't even win the nomination without Supers!
Bernie needs 1,669! (2,384 - 715 Supers who will be forced to support him through adulation!)
So Bernie currently has 1,205--only 464 more to go!
Hillary has a paltry 1,446 in comparison--she still needs 938!
It is obvious that Bernie is totally crushing it! And he is smart, like, I dunno a unicorn or something, because he has figured out a way to win by losing!
Don't mind me! Now, I'm off to prove that Mercury is bigger than Jupiter!

Why, someone here actually said that Clinton needed to win every contest by 67% to "hold on!"
And they weren't joking, either.

(30,058 posts)Remaining delegates, Sanders has less delegates and will need more then the math doesn't add up. Maybe this is a new fund raiser they can sell to some.

But yes, I do agree that there's a grief process going on right now for Bernie supporters. Sadly, acceptance takes awhile.

Nothing is more bewitching than a pissed off old guy

I wash my hands of any right wing, war mongering, big money "Democrat."
