Now I hope he's embarrassed by humiliating defeats in these final days.

Than half of the Super Delegates for a while. Hillary needs 71 delegates to reach the required number of delegates.

Gov Jerry Brown for dumping on their campaign.

If you can't get Jerry to support you, then what's the point? Or is he another corporate sellout and a whore to boot? I'd really like to see the logic of saying that having Jerry Brown stick the knife into the Sanders campaign means nothing because it does. It does matter when the governor of California basically takes a dump on your movement just days away from the primary.

Or did his handlers?

Last time I checked the candidate with the most votes or delegates has a majority.

He can't even get that right.

...admittedly it's been years since I took calculus, but I remember there was a concept called "imaginary numbers" where "i" was equal to the square root of -1. Somehow the burners have extended this concept into some sort of multi-dimensional framework that allows St. Bernard's delegate count to expand exponentially...something like the big bang. Soon they can claim everyone in the world has voted for the ascendancy of their savior...today the world...tomorrow the whole universe.

He's bought into his own hype and no matter what the numbers, nay, the voters have told him, he refuses to believe that the majority of Democratic voters who actually participated in the primary process aren't Feeling the Bern. This tells me one thing: the majority of Democratic voters prefer a pragmatic approach to governance over the "Bern it down" approach.

Sadly, I really respected Sanders before this Primary, now, not so much.

You know, it's sad that this man cannot do simple math. She has a YUUUGE pledged delegate lead, and it's going to grow before convention. Yes, she won't have enough delegates?

The threshold is 1/2 plus 1 of the pledged delegates available. Bernie Math "forgets" that part.

If he says that superdelegates are something other than 'real', the upstanding crusader of righteousness that he is, he can't accept their support. And since Hillary is guaranteed to have the majority of those 'real' delegates, Bernie's logic says he's admitting defeat.

Thanks, Bernie!

As arcane and confusing the primary system may be, this is the hand everyone was dealt. Complaining at the end of the process because it didn't go your way doesn't accomplish anything.

I've been calling him that for several weeks now. My problem is what do I call him after June 7? Egregiously irrelevant?
