She will have those delegates soon.
Meanwhile Trump is going to start hitting her hard, and I am afraid Bernie will tag-team. I will do my best to keep busy and try to get through the next few weeks...a major move is in progress, so that ought to help!
It sure would be nice if the rest of the supers that could commit to her would--it would rap up the ugliness sooner.
I will check in here for news, but leave the TV alone.
Onward and upward from here!

20. Better question:
Wed May 4, 2016, 12:19 AM
May 2016

What's in this game for Bernie if he campaigns on the same attack message against Hillary as Trump campaigns on.

What does Bernie get out of it if Trump becomes our next President? Bernie will never defeat Trump.
Trump stands for everything Bernie has campaigned against.
Except Hillary.
They align perfectly against her.
So whats in a Trump win for Sanders?

Then Chris and Bernie can duke it out to see who gets to run with Donald. My $$$ is on Chris Christie! He was a wrestler in high school when Bernie was already retired and living off the government!

to anti Clinton posts and Berniemath posts.

Now the number of delegates needed to secure Clinton's nomination is 168 (change the number after each new delegate addition).

I'm adding it to my sig line too.

Getting from Wiki table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2016USDem

and 538 website here: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/



Difference between HRC and BS is around 284 to 290 in Pledged Delegates.

and 747 including Super Delegates.



HRC----BS== Difference
1701 - 1417 = 284 Five thirty eight numbers

1704 - 1414 = 290 Wiki numbers

2202 - 1455 = 747 Wiki numbers includes Supers

27. Yes I like your numbers! Another number from Indiana so far: 31,672 diff b/w BS & HRC
Wed May 4, 2016, 10:34 AM
May 2016

Indiana Popular votes = 637,024 votes, 98% reporting (5,290 of 5,374 precincts)

334,348 - 302,676 = 31,672

3 million - 31,672 = 2,968,328 so 2.968 million difference b/w HRC and BS

How can can the BSERS be so blind to the numbers?

How can they continue to blindly support, both financially and politically, an impossibility?

That wishful thinking is getting them NOWHERE!

Damn.. they're going to wake up someday and get a huge reality check when Hillary Clinton is Madam President.

And, what's with that BS from BS? "'Extremely undemocratic' to call Clinton the nominee at this point"

That's nice that burnie is giving them hope that their donations are not going to waste.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling Bernie supporters and voters "Trump voters" is offensive and insulting. Flame bait.
