What I'm wanting is for Bernie to get more than 50% of the pledged delegates, and the Supers will, as they should switch over to him.

If not the first. This is gonna be so cool.

All the way from: ""Who is this Bernie guy" in spring of 2015, to "He's the President" in 2017.

Hillary is floundering. It's unprecedented for a formidable front runner to lose so badly in so many states this late in the race.

And Obama didn't lose 8 in a row. And he was not losing by 15-30 points or more.

She's getting absolutely clobbered by the recent voters.

One candidate will have a majority of pledged delegates, they will be the nominee.
