(2,546 posts)3. A PERFECT Example Of The Effectiveness of MSM (CNN) Propaganda!
Hillary has an improbable path to gaining the necessary PLEDGED Delegates to WIN the nomination outright. So long as Bernie stays in until the voting is concluded, she WILL NOT achieve the necessary 2383 or thereabouts required to WIN the nomination. Hillary has a little over 1500 pledged delegates to Bernie's approximately 1,300. There will be some changes after tonight but THIS IS the ball park.
The 2,000 plus number is put out by the MSM to "convince" the masses that the whole thing is over for Bernie when it clearly ... IS NOT! So tonight Hillary gets a little more than half the delegates maybe 55% plus or minus and Bernie gets the rest. Going forward the proportions revert to Bernie's favor hence denying Hillary the outright nomination. The general will not be won by a candidate with unfavorables in the mid to high 60's. She is only there because she... as the lobbyists/funders say... "Plays Ball!"

Even MSNBC is going to have to quit the "Narrow path to victory" garbage.
