Despite N.H. primary loss, Clinton has 394 delegates to Sanders' 42

Bernie Sanders will win at least 13 of the Democratic delegates in New Hampshire and Hillary Clinton will win at least nine. Two delegates haven't yet been allocated.

In the overall race for delegates, Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegates party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.

Sanders has 42 delegates.

From your link:

The Democratic nominee for president is decided based on which candidate wins the most delegates. You will find conflicting information about how many there are in 2016, but according to the AP, the delegate total is 4,763. It takes 2,382 of those to secure the nomination. And of the 4,763, 712 are “Superdelegates”—about 15 percent of the overall total

Every Democratic member of Congress, House and Senate, is a Superdelegate (240 total). Every Democratic governor is a Superdelegate (20 total). Certain “distinguished party leaders,” 20 in all, are given Superdelegate status. And finally, the Democratic National Committee names an additional 432 Superdelegates—an honor that typically goes to mayors, chairs and vice-chairs of the state party, and other dignitaries.

Mears :"..DU is virtually 100% pro Bernie so I’m sure there will be quite a fuss if Shrillary wins."

So begins the rebellion by the 'masses' against the "elites" of both parties .
Good Call !!
I don't think it will bode well for the current 'power brokers' of both parties.
Thanks for the insight over at DU !

If Sanders is smart enough to shout this from the roof tops it destroys Hillary even more. Yes she wins the nomination but at great cost to her base voters. Throw in a Dr. Koctow aka Bloomberg running as an independent and she is obliterated in the general election, if-if Sanders plays this card.

Super delegates have apparently never decided an election.

712 are ‘Superdelegates’ about 15 percent of the overall total.

15% margin of corruption doesn’t sound like a minor issue.

But superdelegates can support whoever they want, regardless of any stated position. The fact that Hillary apparently has a lot of them doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot.

Sanders’ balking at criticizing Hillary has me wondering if the two will join together on the same ticket. Hmmmm..

If Sander’s continues to win, the Democrat Party will have to acknowledge it or lose his voters.

If they stiff Bernie, he could go third party.

Suckers. And the Dems aren’t even waiting to get into office to screw over the kulaks, I mean, their constituents...

I still say Obummer breaks out the street sweeper and hoses the Clintons on the FBI server scandal. Then he can have their operation all for himself...

“Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegates party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.”..........

Sounds like a lot of vote purchasing has been going on for some time already. I would expect there will be more “business transactions” which will enhance Clinton’s position.

DU is virtually 100% pro Bernie so I’m sure there will be quite a fuss if Shrillary wins.

For those of you with DU accounts, perhaps a little buzz in the ear about fraud and how the system is rigged might be in order (the most useful part of this is that it is true). As a protest against Hillary stealing the primary, they should vote Trump!
