Love Benenson---he is a great spokesperson for Hillary--articulate and to the point. Also love his comment about Sanders running out of real estate!!
Bernie Sanders has a plan to hijack Hillary Clinton's superdelegates

As the Bernie Sanders campaign accepts the reality that securing enough votes at this point to win the Democratic nomination outright is impossible, it has moved on to a new phase in its long-shot bid for the White House: hijack Hillary Clintons so-called superdelegates.
Sanders advisors are targeting these party leaders and elected officials who have outsized influence in deciding who gets to be the Democratic nominee, ..................
Clinton has 469 of them in her corner. Sanders has just 29.
.......................
..........................
Still, the plan is not exactly alarming the Clinton campaign, which revealed on Monday that it expects to have the nomination locked up by the end of next month.
We are going to get to the point where, at the end of April, there just is not enough real estate for him to overtake the commanding lead that weve built up, Clinton pollster Joel Benenson said on a call with reporters....
By then, Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania will have voted. Even if Sanders narrowly wins those states, Benenson said, the delegate gap between him and Clinton will still be immense, without even factoring in superdelegates. And polling shows Clinton poised to do well in those contests.
Benenson also pointed out that Clinton has so far won about 2.5 million more votes than Sanders nationwide, which suggests that even if the superdelegates abandoned her in states where the Vermonter has done well, even more of them would have reason to stay put...............

PEACE!

(10,237 posts)...I've lost ALL respect for Back Bench Bernie!
I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that describes his most rabid supporters perfectly. It showed Sanders saying " 2 plus 2 = potato!" And his fans in the crowd chanting "potato, Potato, POTATO!".
PEACE!
