But when you count delegates from actual votes, it's so much closer.

That is just a statistical tie thanks to Oregon being a neighboring state to Vermont and weird and white.

It's all procedural motions at this point. She's been the winner for a while now.

let me correct your point for ya...

'skin color fool, skin color, and gender... yeah gender too'


Odd that HRC supporters can't put away this old man with his 'socialism' and 'big ideas' in the remaining contests leading up to the national convention... did these remaining states not get the memo?

Might want to color that into your schedule...

Even in Oregon he's only winning by about 6%. These wins are getting him nowhere.

'Hillary unable to put him away'

aren't optics fun... for the someone that's supposedly 'won', the remaining states didn't get your memo, you might need to post harder with your replies stating the inverse as to what's happening in reality, post in CAPS.. that's the trick, try that

the reality of the 'math' that neither candidate will be able to earn the nomination without SDs pushing either one of them over the line will be on FULL display at convention and under the spectacular mass media spotlight for a ratings bonanza... nom nom nom nom... can you taste those optics? I can.... yum

They're not going to overrule the millions of additional voters who chose Hillary over Bernie.

It's the optics of overruling all those diverse voters across dozens of primary contests. That won't happen. You're right.

No matter what some hopeful Bernie supporters think.

'optics of '

Which group is more fearful of MSM attention at convention?

Bernie will not bow out, he'll take this all the way through convention

So now you have MSM crawling all over the process, the convention, the SDs and why they exists and who they are...

Why did SDs pledge before a single vote was cast in the primary? 'overrule the millions' before 'all those diverse voters across dozens of primary contest' had their say?

'No matter what some hopeful HRC supporters think' they are the more fearful with what MSM will feast on for rating through convention... nom nom nom... it'll be a 10 course meal to savor

I seem to recall a certain Bernie supporters in these parts, oh maybe a month or so ago, predicting Sanders would hit 85% in Oregon and get a delegate bonanza.
