How the Rest of the Democratic Delegate Race Could Unfold

[liberal N proud]

If all superdelegates vote for the candidate with the most pledged delegates, Mrs. Clinton will get to 2,383 delgates.
Clinton

1,705 delegates earned

511 projected

714 super delegates


Sanders

1,413 delegates earned

422 projected

2,383 super delegates needed


At a news conference this week, Mr. Sanders stated that he and Mrs. Clinton are headed to a “contested” convention since she cannot reach a majority of the delegates with pledged delegates alone. He urged superdelegates in states that he has won to vote for him.


Even if all superdelegates go to the winner of their state — as Mr. Sanders proposes — he still won’t earn enough delegates.

[Thinkingabout]

1. It is in the math, Hillary will be the nominee, she is still ahead in pledged

Delegates and many of the super delegates will endorse Hillary and she will end with a large delegate count.

2. Apparently this is too complicated for Sanders to understand.

No matter how he wants to count delegates, he still loses. He is only in this for his ego.

5. Bingo!

6. He understands it

however, the branch that releases contribution requests is paid NOT to understand it.

Admitting he lost would kill the last of his contributions--and we know how well that's been going since New York.

3. He just wants power. He may get a little for a while. Maybe through the mid terms....

but he will be phased out. Progressives who actually do things like Warren or Brown will end up taking back the movement. Bernie doesn't have the staying power.

4. And money

He and Jane are in it for the money. They see the golden goose and they are damned if they will let it go yet.
