Hillary Needs 627 Delegates To Win; BS Needs 1315

[stopbush]

It will be a combination of pledged and supers.

And, yes, sorry Sanders fanatics, but it's time to consider Hillary's super delegates as being locked into voting for her at the convention. The amateur moves of Sanders' campaign team over the past week have had the opposite effect that Mr Devine had hoped - Hillary's supers are digging in their heels and supporting her. They will not be defecting, so you may as well face facts and add them onto Hillary's delegate count.

Believing otherwise is wishful thinking.

1. Damn, looks like both Hilary and Bill are going to have to give their SD votes to Sanders.

[Coolest Ranger]

14. based on what?

There are no more white states for Bernie to win. Bernie performs poorly in states with diversity, truth. Bernie can't win over voters of color like me. Bernie is only a one issue one demographic candidate. So tell me again how he can win without appealing to people like me.

[Thinkingabout]

15. In the math, Bernie needs about 60% of the primary votes going forward,

In order for him to get to the needed delegates he will probably need the endorsement of Bill and Hillary's SD to get there.

[Coolest Ranger]

18. That is not going to happen

Did you not read anything what i just said? Ugh

[Thinkingabout]

19. I know, but maybe the campaign can squeeze more donations if they continue to ignore the

math. Hillary continues to raise the incline level, probably by the time California primary happens he may need a missile launcher.

[Coolest Ranger]

20. I believe in my heart

that by the time New York and the other primaries are over in a week she'll be about one hundred delegates away

[Thinkingabout]

21. I am thinking the same way.

[Treant]

23. From your mouth

to the voters' ear.

She should do well in NY, PA, and MD--the big prizes--and that's really going to boost her along the road to the nomination. Within 100, I'm not sure, but it's going to expand her lead nicely at the very least.

2. We have a 25 year old daughter who is beginning to ask some really interesting questions

regarding Sanders. I always thought she wouldn't change her choice, she's the stubborn one, but she's been calling her brother and I think we may have another vote in the Hillary column in this family.

[stopbush]

3. Our young folks can't abide prejudices and they can't abide lying.

They are watching Sanders lying in real time. They don't like it. They have heard that Hillary can't be trusted, but they've heard that from the people supporting the guy who is out there lying (Sanders).

5. My college-age daughter has come around and seen the light.

She doesn't appreciate the lies. Another Hillary voter here!

[Cha]

8. That's wonderful, Kath! At least she was able to see what the "lies" are.

[Kath1]

9. She "gets it" now, Cha!

Just like we do. We can do amazing things with Hillary as President. I am looking forward to it!

[Cha]

11. I'm so happy for you and your daughter.. as we know.. it's Huge!

12. My daughter is a raging liberal like me.

Glad to see she is on a winning team now!

29. K&R

[Kath1]

30. Thanks, SharonClark!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. The Corporate Media has been pushing the lie that HRC called BS "unqualified" and that justifies him

calling her unqualified. She did NOT assert that he is unqualified, but the M$M continues to push this false meme.

[Stuckinthebush]

16. Awesome!

That's great news!

[otohara]

22. My 28 Year Old Changed to HRC

but he can not tell his friends.

Of his 2000+ Facebook friends he figures there are maybe 5 Hillary supporters.

[lunamagica]

27. Hopefully in there are more Hillary supporters on among thos 2000+ who also won't

tell their friends he switched

[Loki]

28. That is really sad.

No one should be intimidated by Bernie Sander's supporters because you have changed your mind. It's unfortunate, but I had this conversation with our daughter about the down ballot races that went to the right wing conservative SC judge in Wisconsin that will really do damage to the progressive goals in that state. Against unions, women's reproductive rights and the rights of LGBT people. There was a 40% drop off from BS supporters, and even some from Hillary's supporters though not nearly at that rate. We have to encourage everyone to vote for the entire ticket. It's that important.

32. I Accidently Tumbled into A Twitter

conversation this AM that had to do with Thom Hartmann's ugly tweet about disabled, cuz I'm disabled - in a matter of minutes they were on me like flies on shit. I ended up deleting my Tweets to avoid more insults.

Sad to see Thom Hartmann followers are mostly bullies.

[SharonClark]

31. A Hillary supporting friend of mine has a son in his late 20's

She had to tell him to quit sending her multiple texts every day praising the glories of Bernie. She just laughed when she found out later he didn't attend his precinct caucus.

[IamMab]

4. I'm sure the harassment campaign hasn't yielded the desired results either. nt

[Kath1]

6. It has not.

[Her Sister]

17. It's probably turning off some!

Why is harassment necessary if you're really strong and qualified candidate? Are we republicans?

[Cha]

7. Why would they defect?! Hillary's the Winner in every way.. she's Qualified and More..

MADem~

Thank you, stopbush!

[Kath1]

10. Those statistics are damning for Bernie.

Not a shock here. LOL.

[NurseJackie]

13. Maths. Bernie will not be the nominee.

[JSup]

24. You can tell...

...that they're getting frustrated again with all the "Confederate State" posts in GDP.

We should stop defending those states and let them ram their tonsils out with their feet because I like it when they show their true colors, so to speak, so others can see them.

Who's dumb ignorant enough to think majority Democrats in 'The Confederacy' are white?

[liberal N proud]

25. They claim the voice of the people yet the math says it is with Hillary

They ta
