Looking ahead....

[Fla Dem]

2383 is the total number of delegates needed to be the outright nominee.

Currently HRC has 1446 and BS has 1200 not counting Super Delegates.
HRC is short of the 2383 target by 937, BS is short by 1183.

There are 1,668 remaining delegates in the primaries thru June 14th.

HRC will have to win just 56% of those delegates to reach 2383
BS will have to win 71% of those delegates to reach 2383.

Hillary will do well in the upcoming primaries, Ct, De, Md Pa, & RI.

For each one of those that BS does not hit the 71% goal, the percentage he needs to win goes up for each successive election/caucus.

As I pointed out this calculation does not include Super Delegates.

If you include the Super Delegates:
HRC currently has 502 Super Delegates.
When added to her Pledged Delegates(1446) she has a total of 1948 delegates.
She only needs 435 Delegates to reach 2383 to clinch the nomination or just 26% of the remaining delegates..

But Bernie's people continue to delude their followers into thinking he can still pull this out.

This from a post in the Bernie Forum this morning:

It is an excerpt from an email one of his followers received last night:

We didn’t get the victory we had hoped for this evening, but what’s important is that it looks like we’re going to win a lot more delegates in New York than any state that voted or caucused before tonight.

So what does that mean? Five important states vote one week from tonight, with more delegates at stake than Hillary Clinton led by coming into tonight. And if we do well next Tuesday, we remain in a position to take the pledged delegate lead when almost 700 delegates are up for grabs on June 7.

As you read this, thousands of supporters are responding to tonight’s results with contributions because they believe we can win. I need to know if I can count on you to add yours.

Ted Devine and Jeff Weaver don't want to give up on their gravy train.

[beachbumbob]

4. Sanders handlers keep making money as long as sanders ego is fed

And he remains in the race..

[Buzz Clik]

5. You can hear the whispering, "Bernie -- let's go third party!" Ride that gravy train until November

[beachbumbob]

10. If sanders intent is to destroy America...then I won't be surprised

Many of his supporters hate much of what America stands for as do the conservative zealots...

7. Family trip to Italy perhaps?

3. Landslide coming in Maryland

6. And yet Weaver claims she will not have enough delegates to win

...and it will still be a contest at the convention. Sure

[Fla Dem]

13. Woo Hoo! Yea Maryland!

[yallerdawg]

8. "Can't you spare $3, brother?"

That's just the price of a generic draft beer, non-artisanal, of course!

Come on - send that money!

[George II]

11. Or half a cup of Starbuck's coffee.

....and bring a dozen close relatives.

21. Here it is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Weaver_(politician)

"In 2009, following his role as Sanders' Senate chief of staff, Weaver left the political scene to run a comics and gaming store, Victory Comics, in Falls Church, Virginia.[1][10][11]

In May 2015, after a break from politics, Weaver was appointed campaign manager for Sanders' presidential campaign.[2][12]"

15. He's going to need 100% delegates in California!

Thanks!

[liberal N proud]

16. Excellent information

Thanks

[Stand and Fight]

19. Frankly, anyone giving money at this point is just throwing it away.

I went through this in 2008. I cut Hillary off when it became mathematically impossible for her to catch up to Obama's lead. I hope that our friends in the Sanders camp will have the presence of mind to do so. At this point, they're simply being bilked for money to fight a battle they cannot win.
