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

FYI - Skinner has spoken... Surya Gayatri May 2016 #33

Super delegates are looking very hard at Clinton's legal problems. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #5

Bullshit MohRokTah May 2016 #6

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

Til the cows come home, M. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #19

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

Believe what you will. MohRokTah May 2016 #22

Good luck finding those nonexistent jurors. And thanks for believing what I will. DisgustipatedinCA May 2016 #24

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

KNR Thank you! Lucinda May 2016 #21

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

Can I get an Amen to that? Surya Gayatri May 2016 #32

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

This is false. Obama secured the nomination when HIllary dropped out four days later. morningfog May 2016 #49
