Im not understanding the whopping gap(Yes Im aware its fraud. BUT THAT MUCH!)
There’s roughly 700 Dem superdelegates (delegates that are appointed by the Dem Party, not elected in the primaries). Roughly half have pre-declared for Hillary.
I don’t know if that’s binding, or just their current say-so.
Feel the BURN, Bernie Brats!
So its speculated then? Estimated? So basically it will happen and Sanders will have no choice but to go independent?
Hillary might have to break out the checkbook again
Well, if the declared delegates hold their line, Sanders starts out spotting Hillary 350. Google tells me that the winner needs to have 2383, because there are 4764 delegates. Of these, a little over 700 are super delegates, meaning they are not popularly elected and bound by that popular vote (at least on the first ballot).
What is their “pledge” worth, how reliable is it, how much does it cost? That’s insider knowledge I do not have.
I’m surprised the media isn’t making a bigger deal out of this. It’s been mentioned, as in “Hillary will do well in the South and she has most of the superdelegates sewed up.” But, it should be in red letters that Bernie has done great so far, and has hardly scratched the surface because she started with a built-in lead.
I feel like I remember that Hillary had a similar lead in delegates against Obama, until he started winning all the primaries. The super delegates switched quickly and she was toast.
See my recent thread on the petition Dems are starting on it. Total scam DemonRat party.
Votes? Who cares! It’s not who gets to vote; it’s who gets to count!
Democrats rig primary results to favor Hillary?
I’m surprised that they could spare time from their complaints and foaming-at-the-mouth rants about America’s lack of fairness, undemocratic institutions, rigged government, culture, organizations and businesses to rig their own elections.

Yes but Bernie should have no complaint. As a proud socialist, taking 60% of the NH vote was greedy. Regardless of the final tally, since there are only two remaining democrat candidate, the delegate distribution should be equal, notwithstanding the effort that either candidate expended.
Dude,
Do some research. Each state has their own rules regarding the delegate process.
Super Delegates can commit without the primary process. And many have. All for Clinton.
The Dims made their own process. For a reason.
Maybe the info at this link will help you to understand. The dems use a strange system obviously designed to put their pick in office and not the popular vote. I was asking this same question on Tuesday night.

Hillary is far too tight with her own money. She'll merely pull out her FBI files and let the potential deserters know she has their files.
Thanks!

Re super delegates switching from Hil to O in 2008:
I remember something of the sort, too. But, I also remember that when they were getting down to the wire, Hil kept campaigning, and the gap between them wasn’t very large—maybe 100 or 150 delegates—less than 10%. At that point, the supers wouldn’t switch back, though, and they ran out the string through the last few states, as I recall.
