This all Hillary Clinton needs to secure the nomination.

Bernie Sanders needs 1,506 to secure the nomination.

That is all, carry on.

[orpupilofnature57]

1. Oh we will, against all odds from day 1 .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thanks for keeping such a close eye on what's needed!

[William769]

3. No problem.

Haven't see you in awhile. Good to see you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I've been a bit under the weather, so have been laying a little low...

Good to see you too.

[NurseJackie]

5. Thank you very much.

[upaloopa]

6. Oh wait just a minute here

Bernie is going to flip some Hillary delegates because all the polls show he can beat Trump by a couple of percentage points more than Hillary can.

[liberalnarb]

16. Just a wee couple of percentage points?

And we need those percentage points. We need to make sure we have the General Election LOCKED DOWN.

[yardwork]

20. I don't think those polls are relevant at this point.

Sadly, if Bernie were the nominee, the Republican Party would unleash a lot of lies and innuendo against him. We would see a lot of ads about communism, socialism, honeymoons in Moscow, etc. I don't agree with it but it would happen.

Hillary has already been pre-disastered. There isn't much more the Republicans can do to her.

[upaloopa]

22. He has to be nominated first

[liberalnarb]

23. Ok

[eomer]

7. To win a majority of voter-elected (pledged) delegates: Hillary needs 863, Bernie needs 1182

You were including super delegates. Bernie's path to the nomination is to win the most pledged delegates and then have the super delegates go along with the expressed will of Democratic voters as they have always done in the past.

[Maedhros]

8. Gotta' keep including those superdelegates to skew and mislead.[n/t]

[George II]

14. No skewing or misleading, rather being realistic. It takes 2383 delegates to win the nomination.

[eomer]

25. To determine the will of the Democrats who've voted in the primaries it takes 2026.

If Bernie gets 2026 or more pledged delegates then the voters in the primary will have chosen him as their nominee.

If that happens and then the super delegates decide to overturn that choice of the voters... well, good luck with that.

[George II]

26. Relax, it won't happen.

[Persondem]

36. Actually it's independents that have given Sanders his best wins. If it really was about the will

of DEMOCRATS this thing would already be over.

[Walk away]

40. Then let's count the votes of actual Democrats in each state!

Throw out Bernie's crossover Pukes and his "Independents" and he can go back to Vermont tomorrow.

After all, you do want the Democratic party to do the will of it's members. For all anyone knows, those crossovers could just be spoilers. Why would a Super Delegate give a shit about what they want?

[leftofcool]

9. It is mathematically impossible from him to win the most pledged delegates now

[JonLeibowitz]

13. That is an absurd and entirely false statement.

I am not at all surprised to hear it though.

[George II]

15. Sanders need to get 58% of of the vote in EACH and EVERY remaining state. At this time....

....he doesn't have 58% in a single state.

Not only that, if he fails to get 58% or more in any of the three states today, that 58% goes up.

[JonLeibowitz]

17. I agree. That doesn't mean it is "mathematically impossible"

Mathematics has very strict implications for possibility.

That is what I was contradicting. I am well aware of the delegate math thank you.

[morningfog]

32. You don't understand your words. It is not mathematically impossible

For him to get a majority of the pledged delegates. That is just stupid. It is very hard for him, but mathematically it is possible. He needs 57% from tonight on to do it.

[mcar]

10. Thanks!

[bravenak]

11. Yep

[Sheepshank]

12. Well, we do have some close races comin up

Bernie will gain some...but will they be enough?

I'm sure a running tab will be provided. It will be graphed, I'm sure

[leftofcool]

18. you wicked boy, you!

[ismnotwasm]

19. Yes indeed

I love math.

[Logical]

21. Another classy Hillary post. nt

[William769]

27. It just fucking kills you that I am right and you can't dispute the truth. And I'm ok with that.

Yea, I'll be staying classy all the way to seeing Hillary get inaugurated as the next President of the United States.

Have a nice day.

[Logical]

30. No it is fucking amazing how arrogant you people are. Just like hillary. nt

[morningfog]

33. Arrogant and petty. Such a lovely combo.

And insecure on top of that.

[oasis]

28. Very soon, Bernie will have a chance to show some class, and concede.

If he doesn't, will we hear from you?

[Logical]

29. Yep, if he loses the vote at the convention I am sutre he will. Until then he can....

do his best to make hillary a liberal.

[Armstead]

24. Isn't that special?

[Starry Messenger]

31. K&R

[Cha]

34. Come on 827!

[DemonGoddess]

35. K&R!

[Thinkingabout]

37. It is EVER ONWARD to 827, we can do this.

[William769]

38. That number just got smaller.

[Thinkingabout]

39. We will take any overage, think we will have some to spare, yeah.
