SANDERS 60% CLINTON 38%
Have you seen his crowds of determined angsty young vapers, er, Millenials? They are pretty much willing to do whatever Angry Grampa tells them to do. And they're going to Philly? It wouldn't take much...
Nope take a look at the delegate allications
I’d vote for Opus and Bill
The Super Delegates are going to hurt anyone who is not establishment Dem or GOPe.

My question is.. if she already has those delegates locked down, WTH is the point of conducting primaries?
Yes, it’s to stop people like Bernie, but it’s also more generally a way for the party regulars to control the outcome for any reason. For example, if the Dem leadership decides that Hillary can’t win the election, they can block her via the superdelegates.
You’re right that both parties have their share of infighting right now.
“My question is.. if she already has those delegates locked down, WTH is the point of conducting primaries?”
The primaries are a legal way to make “candidates” and their friends and family millions of dollars with consulting, travel planning, event coordination, bus rental, etc., etc. Gotta have the primary for every one to get paid........
I’ve seen where Sanders won the delegates in NH 13-9, but I’ve also seen where she has close to 400 delegates. Which is correct?
The 394 count I've seen includes superdelegates across the country who have announced their support for Clinton. Generally the superdelegates are known (elected Democrats, party officials, and the like, ex officio).
Committed super delegates courtesy of DNC’s Debbie Schultz.
And if getting the vote doesn't help him catch up ?
Hell to pay :)
32
Across the country, in many states, the superdelegates have already pledged support for Clinton. They don't need to wait for the primary.
So yeah, in theory, she's a few hundred up already on the bernmeister.
Apparently so..
At least some of them still care about things like actual votes.
Burn notice. Classic.
Some of the most obvious advice ever dispensed in the guise of tradecraft secrets.
“The convention will look like 1968.”
I was thinking that too, but even worse. Sanders beats Clinton by 15 points in the popular vote, but Clinton steals it with the Superdelegates. There will be HELL TO PAY if that happens.
People may forget, but the Dems considered doing the same to Obama in 2008, and Obama’s people MADE IT CLEAR that they would not permit it...and they had that power, simply by telling blacks to sit out the general election.
I have to think that the Dems simply WILL NOT try that stunt against Sanders, just too much risk there.
