This way, he can put more pressure for concessions and get just about everything he wants, even if he isn't able to get the nomination, for example, maybe he wants to head the DNC, or has someone in mind who he wants as head of the DNC, and an agreement to wipe out super delegates in the nominating process in the future, have the party adopt his policies and Hillary will promise to campaign for them - such as $15 dollar min wage, etc. etc.

This is great news, Bernie is an incredible fighter for the people, he doesn't give up.

Sanders statement June 4: "The election is not over on June 7th. No candidate can declare victory" [View all] imagine2015 Jun 2016 OP

This is gonna be quite an experience RobertEarl Jun 2016 #1

The election will before on June 7th, just as it went in 2008 and 2004 Tarc Jun 2016 #2

Yeah...when the other candidates suspend their campaigns Jack Bone Jun 2016 #3

Yes, all 2nd-place finishers are welcome at the convention, Bernie will be there Tarc Jun 2016 #5

A "presumptive" status only claim by Hillary's campaign supporters and "neutral" DU Adminstrators. imagine2015 Jun 2016 #7

They 'll be no presumptive anything this year Jack Bone Jun 2016 #8

This is not at all like 2008 and 2012. Haven't you been following the primaries or 2008/2012? imagine2015 Jun 2016 #6

Simmah down mr. 2015, I didn't say 2012 at all Tarc Jun 2016 #43

It's kind of hard to pretend the election is still going when the rest of the world has moved on. BzaDem Jun 2016 #4

Point being, the media IS NOT to call the race over Jack Bone Jun 2016 #10

What happens when they do, despite whatever you have said to the contrary? BzaDem Jun 2016 #12

Hillary suspended her campaign...Bernie's not Jack Bone Jun 2016 #13

Did you not see my post? They declared Obama the victor BEFORE Hillary suspended her campaign. BzaDem Jun 2016 #14

Probably talked to someone in her campaign...i dunno Jack Bone Jun 2016 #16

Or maybe... just maybe... they will call it, like in 08, as your opinion doesn't matter to them. BzaDem Jun 2016 #19

It's not my opinion, it's the DNC's! Jack Bone Jun 2016 #42

Superdelegates do not vote until July 25th. They are irrelevant until then. jillan Jun 2016 #18

Exactly, and I love your sig picture. One Black Sheep Jun 2016 #20

So his hope is for the super delegates to overrule the pledged delegate winner? oberliner Jun 2016 #24

It's the way the game is played now, he didn't write the rules. One Black Sheep Jun 2016 #28

Lol LOl. Oh my the hypocrisy of a year of this shit. seabeyond Jun 2016 #36

Including supers for determining a presumptive nominee is ALSO "the way the game is played now". Lord Magus Jun 2016 #44

Right, but he could stand on principle and say they should vote for the pledged delegate winner oberliner Jun 2016 #58

You might want to prepare to be upset on Tuesday. Maybe get your comfort items ready. nt anotherproletariat Jun 2016 #21

Hillary will not have 2383 pledged delegates. Those are the rules. Period. jillan Jun 2016 #25

She will have passed 2383 including those supers who have committed to her, which anotherproletariat Jun 2016 #31

The supers do not count until they have voted on July 25th. The supers do not count until they have jillan Jun 2016 #32

I never disagreed. There is no way anyone can be the nominee before July 25th. BUT anotherproletariat Jun 2016 #38

It doesn't matter how often you repeat it. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #45

The pledged delegate totals are relevant oberliner Jun 2016 #23

He wants the super delegates to override the pledged delegate winner? oberliner Jun 2016 #22

The super delegates haven't voted. lol. They can vote for whoever they want AT THE CONVENTION. jillan Jun 2016 #26

Right, but he is encouraging them to not vote for the candidate who wins the most pledged delegates oberliner Jun 2016 #57

And I should listen to him why? RandySF Jun 2016 #27

Bernie can say whatever he wants. Just watch what happens. Renew Deal Jun 2016 #29

So the Hillary camp doesn't believe in rules? The rules were there when she signed up to run. jillan Jun 2016 #34

They believe in the rules. Bernie's camp claims to not believe in reality Renew Deal Jun 2016 #40

Yes and by those exact same rules Obama was the presumptive nominee on June 3 VIA SUPERDELEGATES. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #46

Wanna bet? Just cause Sanders is yelling at all of us does not mean we have to listen. seabeyond Jun 2016 #33

Another hillaryite that does not care about the rules of the democratic party. jillan Jun 2016 #35

Seriously? This from the group that wants to deny voters choice? I cannot believe there seabeyond Jun 2016 #39

Isn't Bernie cute. He actually thinks Hillary will play by the rules. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #41
