A true patriot will do the math and, if the delegates (honestly earned)
don't add up, will gracefully bow out of this race. You can speculate all you want but this has got to be the bottom line. Anything short of this will deliver this country to the Republicans and the Supreme Court to the rabid right. If either of the Democratic candidates, either of them, think that by bashing the other or playing games with delegates, they will attain the Presidency, they are fooling themselves and betraying all of us. I don't care who you are supporting, this is a reality that should be keeping all of us AND the candidates, pacing the floor at night.

This will be a gut-wrenching decision but this time around it can't be politics as usual. These two people have to find a way to pull this country from the brink. It simply is not about them, it's all about us and the future.

I am praying that they find it in their hearts to do the right thing.

2. A democrat will still win the big states like California and new york
Both Obama and Clinton will still win the big states in the general, that won't change!

3. In the end...
I think the political "professionals" will sway the super delegates, unfortunately.

4. If they do the right thing and step aside I think they would earn
the gratitude and respect of all people with the country's interests at heart and I think they would be guaranteed of the Presidency in 2016.
