1. Bernie Sanders does NOT have the delegates

Hillary has the most pledged and unbound delegates.

She has the most individual votes.

She has the support of most of the party itself.

So assuming everything you say is true, and it is. He does have all those qualities. I have always liked him.

How does that get him the nomination? How does he catch up with pledged delegates in a proportional vote system when most states have already voted? How does he catch her with unbound delegates already committed to her?

If you think that this means that he is honest, then I am amused

which also included provisions outlawing computer generated child porn, his vote for the anti-immigrant vigilante Minutemen, his support for the stealth bomber, his 1999 vote for regime change in Iraq, his failure in providing oversight to the VA, his failure to build strong alliances with PoC and gays, his vote against the 2007 immigration bill are among examples of his less than excellent judgment. In some ways his judgment and ideas might be better than Hillary's, but in other ways the are worse. Trust the voters on this one.
