Barack Obama secured the nomination on June 3, 2008, BY ROLLING OUT 60 SUPER DELEGATE ENDORSEMENTS [View all]

Anybody who claims that a candidate needs a super majority of pledged delegates to secure the nomination is purely lying.

2,383 delegates as the requirement for the nomination includes super delegates, so reaching that number must include super delegates.

Hillary Clinton is 78 delegates away from that number right now.

End of discussion.

Thank goodness Skinner has announced this bullshit ends when the voting ends and nobody will be able to pretend on this site any longer after June 14 that the nominee is not the nominee.

The primary will end sometime between June 7 - June 15. LonePirate May 2016 #8

No the vote isn't taken until convention. nt silvershadow May 2016 #9

Bernie will concede betwen 6/7-6/15, just like Clinton did in 2008. LonePirate May 2016 #13

I'm not sure all the delegate counts will be certified by then. silvershadow May 2016 #26

Even if that's true, there won't be enough potential outstanding pledged delegates mythology May 2016 #40

Don't be so sure. Bernie is single-handedly destroying the party LibraLiz1973 May 2016 #35

You can engage in personal attacks and daydream of my banning until the cows come home. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #7

I have made no personal attack. MohRokTah May 2016 #12

You compared me with right wingers and talked of my being banned. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #15

I merely pointed out that your dream of Hillary being indicted,... MohRokTah May 2016 #17

BTW, let me know what the vote count was on the alert. eom MohRokTah May 2016 #14

See post 15. There was no alert. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #16

YEah, ... right. MohRokTah May 2016 #18

And now your implication is that I'm lying. I'm not. Tough day? DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #20

Endorsements are not votes. fancypants75 May 2016 #10

Actually, yes, they are. OTherwise Barack Obama would not have clinched the nomination June 3, 2008 MohRokTah May 2016 #11

Voting...Supers don't vote until Convention. nt silvershadow May 2016 #28

Neither do the pledged delegates. nt ucrdem May 2016 #29

Endorsements by Super Delegates are votes, except for 8 delegates which gets counted for one half Thinkingabout May 2016 #52

The AP delegate tracker agrees with you -- 78 more delegates and it's over. ucrdem May 2016 #23

Obama was not under several investigations and Clinton cannot get the required number of delegates slipslidingaway May 2016 #31

Obama couldn't get the required number of delegates until the convention either onenote May 2016 #38

She's the presumptive nominee. Starry Messenger May 2016 #34

He didn't secure it until she agreed to be his SoS. End of story. berni_mccoy May 2016 #36

Your premise is flawed. Hillary conceded. morningfog May 2016 #41

Bernie will concede after DC votes hack89 May 2016 #44

I expect that he will, but it is far from a given. morningfog May 2016 #45

She conceded because she knew that hundreds of superdelegates who had committed to Obama onenote May 2016 #54

I don't think they'll switch. But, the premise of the OP is flawed. morningfog May 2016 #55

I think that depends on what one means by "secured" the nomination onenote May 2016 #57

Sanders is doing what he is doing now... NCTraveler May 2016 #42

Skinner has also said he put his ass on the line with the amnesty, Mr Nine Hides At The Moment Fumesucker May 2016 #46
