(52,110 posts)That something is that Hillary is cleaning Sanders clock in pledged delegates, the popular vote AND super delegates.
Really, put your mind at ease here. There is no way in hell that Sanders can catch upon the popular vote or the pledged delegates.
So this is nothing like Gore v. Bush
Yet what YOUR candidate is advocating, though it is really very stupid and will never come to pass, is that when Hillary comes to the convention with a commanding lead in popular vote and pledged delegates, the super delegates should contravene the will of the people (you know, that We the People you guys are always referring to?) and toss their support to him. What YOUR candidate wants is a Gore v. Bush situation.
Thank goodness no one has any intention of playing along with him.
