She’ll only win it if there are any coin flips.

Get word of this out. We need a DemonRat meltdown.

The convention will look like 1968.

An actual prophecy that if I am wrong you can, as is prescribed by Moses, stone me for if I am wrong:

If Bernie Sanders continues to win 50+% of the vote and yet obtains less than 1/2 the delegates then it will not matter who the Republican challenger is. Indeed, the Meadow Party candidates of a talking Penguin and a dead cat would win.

I almost hope, H*****y steals the nomination like that. I’d love to watch the riots outside the convention

This is the same problem the Democrats face if they try to get someone else in the race at this point.

If they bring in Biden, Warren or even Bloomberg to “save” the party, the question must be asked: from whom?

From Sanders.

And his very loyal, politically naive followers will be outraged.

The Democrats are stuck with either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, and it is starting to dawn on them now.

And these are the same jagoffs who whined about every vote counting in Florida during Bush/Gore.

(I posted this on another thread, but it might be of interest here too.)

The Democrats have a corrupt system for picking delegates. If I have it right, here's how it works in New Hampshire:

There are 32 delegates: 8 are chosen statewide in the primary, 8 are chosen in Congressional District 1 in the primary, 8 are chosen in Congressional District 2 in the primary, and 8 are for political insiders (they call them "superdelegates", but I don't have to call them that).

Even the delegates chosen in the primary aren't allocated in proportion to the vote, but according to arbitrary cutoffs. As a result:

It doesn't look like Sanders is getting more than 68.8% anywhere, so each of the three groups of 8 will be either 4-4 or 5-3. As a result, the Sanders advantage among the 24 "elected" delegates will be somewhere between 15-9 and 12-12.

There are still the 8 political-insider delegates ("superdelegates"). These aren't formally committed to any candidate. You can expect all or most of these 8 to go for Hillary unless the party hierarchy pulls its support for her. I think 6 of the 8 have already announced that they are for her.

If all 8 of the insiders vote for Hillary, that brings the range to somewhere between 15 Sanders - 17 Clinton at the low end to 12 Sanders - 20 Clinton at the high end. (If not all the insiders vote for Clinton, it may not be quite so extreme.)

So much for democracy—Sanders is getting around 60% of the vote, but he'll probably get a minority of the 32 New Hampshire delegates.

This is guaranteed to inflame the Sanders supporters and fuel divisiveness among the Democrats.

This won’t go well with the base at all. They’re being told get out and vote but it doesn’t matter. I’m dying to have Wasserman-Schultz be asked about this in some interview. Theres no answer that won’t make the voters even more enraged. The madder they are the less likely they are to vote for Hillary in the general.

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this -- who will count the votes, and how. - Joseph Stalin, the intellectual father of the modern Democrat Party

How do you like those socialist apples, Bernie?

If this stands, we'll be able to whip it out and whizz in the face of any Democrat we meet.

i would imagine the “super” delegates are establishment toadies who suck at the teat of Hitlery and Hussein. so they bow their knees to them by giving them their vote.

My question is.. if she already has those delegates locked down, WTH is the point of conducting primaries?
