There won't be a contested convention. Get over it.

[Zynx]

Right after CA and NJ vote on June 7th, Hillary will be at a clear majority of pledged and super delegates. The super delegates will make it clear they're not budging. Polling will show 70-75% of Dems consider the race completely and totally over. Sanders will concede and endorse Hillary.

That's what will happen. Everything else is just going through the motions until CA has voted.

1. link? nt

[MFM008]

10. you dont need a link

for facts and math.
Keep hope alive though.............

[bkkyosemite]

2. And if that happens....the rest is to be shown

[nichomachus]

3. And a lot of people

won't be voting for Mrs. Clinton in November.

Get over it.

[MFM008]

12. you never intended to

who are you kidding?

[Zynx]

14. She'll win in any case.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. How about the cases the Feds bring?

Maybe not so much, eh?

[Zynx]

21. I don't know why you keep assuming there will be a case.

And even if there was, it's far more likely Biden will be the choice of Hillary's delegates, not Bernie.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. Uh-oh.

The wavering detector is starting to beep.

[Demsrule86]

40. No case

Rightwing FBI types leak shit to help the GOP but when all is said and done there is no wrongdoing...once again Rice and Powell both had private servers.

[underthematrix]

30. Wishful thinking doesn't make it so. There is no "lot of people"

who are stupid enough or angry enough to put a NAZI in the White House and have a Congress who will take away voting rights for people of color, deport 11 million immigrants, and overturn a woman's right to choose what happens to her body. Yes there are stupid and angry but just not that many.

[Demsrule86]

41. Bernie bots who are actually Republicans pretending to be Bernie supporters.

They never intended to vote for anyone besides Trump or Cruz.

[Gwhittey]

43. But they are she is winning ATM

So that proves your little rant off. Hillary has a very good chance to get in the White House.

[berniepdx420]

4. Zynx Zynx wake up wake up .. you're late for work...

[Zynx]

9. Bookmark this. I'll be happy to check on the projection by June 10th or so.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. November 9th is the date that matters.

[Zynx]

22. Not for Bernie. And she'll do just fine come election day.

[Demsrule86]

42. So sick of your threats

It shows how immature most of you are and foolish...you want a revolution but you vote for any GOP and it's finished. They get the courts...then you don't have to vote for 20 or 30 years.

[TheCowsCameHome]

54. Then take two aspirin and go lie down

Sheesh.

[berniepdx420]

26. We are going to the convention.. there are political gains to be had.. plus there is a rumor hillary

might get indicted or...

[Zynx]

33. A rumor that only her political foes spread.

[berniepdx420]

34. guess the criminal FBI investigation is only a rumor too.. and her hiring of a criminal defense

attorney... This is happening to hillary not the Bern.. just to be clear...

[Demsrule86]

44. 'Sure Bernie will give a speech endorsing Hillary or he won't be there.

The rest of you...'frankly my dear I don't give a damn'.

[berniepdx420]

55. feelings mutual DINO

[Ned_Devine]

5. That's such a great campaign slogan! It's Hillary. Get over it

[lumberjack_jeff]

53. +1 n/t

[grntuscarora]

6. And she'll lose in November.

Get over it.

[Zynx]

11. To Trump? Or Cruz? I rather doubt it.

[ridgenvalley]

23. You rather doubt it.

Well there is confidence bubbling over.


I know DU likes to ignore progressive, Independent, rural, and (godhelpus) Repuke voters. But they kinda dislike her. So you better hope you have enough establishment style D voters in November. I don't think you do.

[Zynx]

24. I watch too many British shows. Saying you "rather doubt" something is a complete dismissal.

[Demsrule86]

45. Then you lose also

If you were older and smarter, you would know how terrible either of the GOP clowns would be.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. What's to get over?

She's going to go it alone, no need for the indies, so what's to worry about?

[Zynx]

13. She'll do just fine with indies against Trump.

And if they deny it to Trump, he'll go third party or his supporters will stay home. She'll win in either case.

[lunamagica]

37. Obama won without the "indies"

[TheCowsCameHome]

38. No he didn't.

And Hillary is no Obama, either.

[Demsrule86]

46. I an not worried

Except for a few of you who are truly nutters or Gop types, most people are not stupid enough to allow either GOP candidate to win.

[cantbeserious]

8. Another DU Member To Full Ignore

eom

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. We'll see

[Zynx]

19. We shall. And it won't be long.

[KingFlorez]

17. The candidate with the most pledged delegates will win on the first ballot

What people don't get is that Clinton can be acclimated as the nominee on the first ballot.

[Zynx]

20. I expect a close to unanimous vote for Hillary on the first ballot.

[grasswire]

28. acclimated?

what a strange word choice

[KingFlorez]

31. I should have said selected by acclaimation

No matter how it's phrased, there won't be a second ballot because there are only two candidates.

[Demsrule86]

47. Some of them are Republicans

They think we engage in the same stupidity as the Republicans.

[MadBadger]

25. It's like people have never followed politics before

[NurseJackie]

49. Neophytes. Same people who are confused on how to ...

... register as a Democrat if they want to participate in the DEMOCRATIC primary.

[oldandhappy]

27. I understand and accept.

No getting over anything.
clinton will have a hell of a fight for November. Get over it. (you like that? wanted you to know how it feels.)

[metamorphosis]

32. It must be contested, and will be, if ongoing investigations make her an untenable candidate.

Unfortunately for HRC, and for her supporters, the pledged and superdelegates are tasked to ensure that the party will not make the horrible mistake of nominating a likely criminal to be president of the US.

Right now, there are numerous investigations into possible illegalities that might have been committed by HRC. If there are any indictments or supoenas, a lot of delegates and superdelegates are going to have to ask whether it is in the nation's interest to nominate a candidate who may well be impeached in the first year of her first term (if, in the eyes of republican congressmen, she is viewed already as having committed high crimes or misdimeanors).

In fact, there is already a movement to initiate impeachment proceedings against HRC as early as the first week of her first term.

so, yes, the convention could be automatically contested due to legal proceedings, if they move definitely, if documents are leaked, etc.

[WhenTheLeveeBreaks]

35. Many people claim James Comey is an honest broker

I do not share this opinion. I believe Comey, like most in DC, is a political hack. The "others" have feelings he is a straight shooter, but I have evidence and history on my side. Obama has made it clear he does not want an indictment and does not expect one. To understand anything other than "marching orders received" by Comey would be ignoring the obvious. I believe James Comey is willing to flush his professional reputation in exchange for political expediency.

There will be no indictment because the FBI/Comey is not going to recommend one. This, of course, will be a political, rather than a legal conclusion.

The day Comey announces "No indictment", you will see FBI agents and some DOJ prosecutors resign. These people will be perfectly willing to tell their stories in front of the camera. Since the mainstream media is so fully in the tank for Hillary, they will try their best to ignore these resignations and discredit their stories and opinions.

By this time, DU will be in full Hillary-only mode.

This is where the fun starts.

Of course, Comey may surprise me in which case the path takes a much clearer direction.

It has been an extremely bizarre primary season. It's about to get a lot bizarrer.

[Demsrule86]

50. Your opinion is based on right wing lies...you have no idea what you are talking about.

Powell and Rice had private servers.

[Demsrule86]

48. Total right wing lies It will not be contested

She will win officially. The primary will be called and you will stop posting right wing bullshit, or you will be tossed out...that is how it works.

[Broward]

36. We get it. The corporate elite won another round.

Good on you for helping them carry the day once again.

[Purveyor]

39. Come on Comey..."make my day"!!! eom

[Thinkingabout]

52. If the first vote determines a clear majority then it will determine the nominee.

It is a great possibility Hillary will be able to present a clear majority before the convention, not the first time this has happened.
There are ways the plane could be landed gently.
