‘Here’s Why We Say It’s Over… It’s The Math.’ BS needs 107% of the remaining delegates *HRC GROUP*

CNN news anchor who took a turn trying to describe the smell of the coffee to prominent Sanders surrogate and former State Senator Nina Turner with a rather blunt declaration.

New Day anchor Alisyn Camerota tried to get Turner to weigh in on the plan for post-primary unity, but Turner insisted the race was not over:

Turner: Senator Sanders will continue in this race because millions of folks who already voted for him, and we still have millions of folks in this country yet to vote. And it is not over on Tuesday, it’s far from over.

Camerota: Here’s why we say it is over on Tuesday, it’s the math. Clinton needs 9% of the remaining delegates. He needs 107% of the remaining delegates. There’s not a poll in the world to show Bernie Sanders getting 107% of the remaining delegates, Nina.

more than anything else as the media needs to keep interest in this....sanders is easy with his ego and all....and his followers, well alternative reality is most likely.....

our nominee is set once the required delegate count is met...that is a historical fact and we don't wait to convention to say it

super delegates RARELY, if ever change who they have committed to.....

pledged delegates from primary elections remain pledged to the candidate for the first ballot

the real harm is a sore loser which sanders is appearing to be.....where is that a surprise? His character does lack grace....and his ego...well its always been about bernie.....and he has never been a team player and his reputation is well deserved for "not playing nice with others".......would sanders put his ego above what is best for the country??? Its possible.....many ego maniacs when losing go full nuclear....and they don't care what happens. Kinda what makes them ego maniacs in the first place. I believe if sanders does....he will set back the progressive cause within the democratic party...and really inflict damage on future progressives (like Liz Warren) political careers. Ego maniacs never see that what they do have negative results.

I really hope sanders finds the courage and guts to be gracious and be supportive at all levels to help stem the conservtives...HE can do THAT....the question is...will he?
