Related: About this forumWSJ: Clinton May Not Be Nominee
There is now more than a theoretical chance that Hillary Clinton may not be the Democratic nominee for president.
How could that happen, given that her nomination has been considered a sure thing by virtually everyone in the media and in the party itself? Consider the possibilities.
The inevitability behind Mrs. Clintons nomination will be in large measure eviscerated if she loses the June 7 California primary to Bernie Sanders. That could well happen.

A recent PPIC poll shows Mrs. Clinton with a 2% lead over Mr. Sanders, and a Fox News survey found the same result. Even a narrow win would give him 250 pledged delegates or morea significant boost. California is clearly trending to Mr. Sanders, and the experience in recent open primaries has been that the Vermont senator tends to underperform in pre-election surveys and over-perform on primary and caucus days, thanks to the participation of new registrants and young voters.

(934 posts)how many does that leave for Mrs. Clinton?
If Sanders wins by the same 8% that Clinton beat Obama by in 2008, the result will be the same as it was then. The candidate with the most delegates will get the nomination.
Sanders should be ashamed of himself for duping people in order to live the high life for a few more weeks.
