Clinton Campaign Memo: Bernie's Only Path Is to Overturn Will of the Voters

Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook posted a campaign memo on Medium earlier today detailing what they believe to be the solid facts about how strong a chance they have to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

He touts the same things Clinton herself has on the campaign trail––she has millions more votes so far than Sanders and tons more delegates. And contrary to Sanders repeatedly saying he wins when turnout is higher, Mook claims that’s actually true of their camp.

Mook repeatedly insists that Sanders’ path to victory is a not only a narrow one, but one that involves something drastic:

"The Sanders campaign’s path forward relies on overturning the will of the voters: The math being what it is, the Sanders campaign has struggled to explain their path to the nomination. Their latest strategy involves a combination of trying to flip pledged delegates at state and county conventions, while also convincing superdelegates that he deserves their support — despite the fact that Hillary Clinton has won 58 percent of the popular vote and a majority of pledged delegates thus far."


Sanders has been making the case recently that superdelegates should look at what the voters in their states decide and should maybe come over to him if the will of the people is in his favor.

actual election fraud, unlike some of the other nonsense hyped by Sanders supporters. I suspect that the woman who gave the Sanders campaign access to Clinton data through an email chain is the one behind the mailer as well.

Breaking the law for Bernie, yeah! #subjectiveethics

I think Catherine Kramer sent out the mailers too or one of her helpers. Did she not think she would be busted?

delegates knew that the mailer was a dud. That's why they knew to show up and Clinton's delegates didn't.
