59% -- Neither will have it!

I just learned that in order for Bernie or Hillary to win the nomination before the convention, they need to have 59% of the pledged delegates. Neither will have it!

I am so sick of all the talk about Bernie getting out and telling him he did not win.
Bull S**T! Neither of them win before the convention!
They both will go into the convention for a vote in order to determine a nominee.

1. The magic PLEDGED DELEGATE number = 2383. Neither Bernie or Clinton can hit that

before the convention. The corrupt corporate owned MSM and DU just want a coronation before SUPER DELEGATES vote on July 25. She can't win without Super Delegate votes. PERIOD. END OF SUBJECT.

She will likely be indicted by then anyway.

PEACE

5. She will certainly try, but our cries for her to withdraw from the race will be deafening!

She won't survive it.

Or, will 'We The People' actually have meaning and power.

If Comey recommends indictment, she's done. I just he does SOMETHING before the convention. Just because he's a NY Republican doesn't mean he's a Trump fan.

8. Apparently, its a DNC rule

AND the press was instructed not to report delegates to include the superD's.
SuperD's don't vote UNTIL the Convention.

Hmmmm.... seems to me the DNC Chair, DWS, should have been in front of cameras telling the press about the 59% rule in order for a candidate to clinch the nomination before the convention. Plus, SuperD's do not actually vote until the convention and to NOT count them in the delegate reporting.

We would be so screwed if we did not have alternative media sources to inform us.

10. That's why we are so screwed -- because we didn't have it back when.

We owe so much to the alternative press.

May a few progressive millionaires run a mainstream liberal media network. And not like MSNBC which is an epic fail for liberals.

11. Yes, (messy pic) but point made. "THEY" pressured Bernie & Us, from the beginning to get out

It makes me so mad! All this talk about, "you lost" so "get out".

The truth is, Bernie has what it takes to be our next President!

14. They didn't want a contest at all. The Clinton followers wanted her to be anointed.

There is no aspect of democracy they like. It's too hard.
