Sanders
1,413 delegates earned
422 projected
2,383 super delegates needed
At a news conference this week, Mr. Sanders stated that he and Mrs. Clinton are headed to a contested convention since she cannot reach a majority of the delegates with pledged delegates alone. He urged superdelegates in states that he has won to vote for him.
Even if all superdelegates go to the winner of their state as Mr. Sanders proposes he still wont earn enough delegates.

(1,968 posts)however, the branch that releases contribution requests is paid NOT to understand it.
Admitting he lost would kill the last of his contributions--and we know how well that's been going since New York.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)but he will be phased out. Progressives who actually do things like Warren or Brown will end up taking back the movement. Bernie doesn't have the staying power.
