Related: About this forumSuperdelegates put Clinton on path to clinch before California
http://www.wkbw.com/news/national/democracy-2016/superdelegates-put-clinton-on-path-to-clinch-before-californiaHillary Clinton's support among superdelegates puts her on a solid track to clinch the Democratic nomination outright before the national convention even before results are known from the California primary, which Bernie Sanders was counting on winning to stand a chance.
Clinton added 33 new endorsements from superdelegates over the past month, according to a new Associated Press survey, expanding her already overwhelming support among the party officials who can back any candidate they choose, despite Sanders' recent string of victories in Wisconsin and the West. Sanders picked up just seven endorsements.
Based on primaries and caucuses alone, the latest AP delegate count, including New York, shows that Clinton leads, 1,428 to 1,151. Including superdelegates, the race stands at 1,930 to 1,189, for Clinton.

So Sanders fantasy of flipping Hillary's supers would have to be realized before the first ballot. Not gonna happen.

(24,397 posts)12. Weaver is delusional.
He told Steve Kornacki on air last night that Sanders didn't have to win every remaining high-delegate-count state to win. Pointed to CA like Sanders will win 100% of the CA delegates.
It's like he's living in a comic book...

he's stringing the donors along.

(11,636 posts)10. That would be so awesome
And then the convention would be firmly about stoking the Democratic Party to win in the GE! The whining and gnashing of teeth would already have happened.

(60,349 posts)11. Dumb question - How many delegates are left to be awarded?
I could figure it out but I am lazy, if someone already has the info at the ready.
Thanks,
