The primary schedule...

There's a lot of arguing, but there isn't any voting. I looked up the primary schedule. There is no voting until February 1. That's still a long ways away. If you got a hide on DU today, it wouldn't clear until after Iowa.

2/1/16: Iowa
2/9: NH
2/20: NV
2/27: SC
3/1:
Alabama
Arkansas
Colorado
Dem Abroad
Georgia
Massachusetts
Minnesota
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Vermont
Virginia

30% of the primaries will be complete by 3/1. There are 6 more by 3/8 (42%).

There is still a lot of time left, but it might end pretty quickly (5 weeks) after it starts.

Hillary will stay until the end, hoping the establishment can fix it for her. It will be quite amusing. Even more so than these days.

Go Bernie!!

1681 are needed

A candidate would have sweep the primaries and have almost all of the superdelegates.

I would say March 8, and certainly March 15.
