CNN: Warren will make the case that superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner

Just now on CNN...A reporter says Elizabeth Warren will be making the case that superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner.

Obama and Biden will also back the pledged delegate winner.

Bernie, on the other hand, will argue that superdelegates should ignore the will of the people and give Bernie the nomination.

Bernie is going to be a very lonely man.

I almost feel sorry for him.

But I tire of the eternally outraged and am not interested in setting aside the winner just because people howl and scream bitterly and outrageously.

All this crap he has brought solely on himself. History will be a not so kind judge to Mr. Sanders and we are already seeing his legacy in the number of states that currently have caucuses requesting to move to primaries.

I also have no doubt this will be the absolute last time the Democratic Party allows somebody to declare themselves a Democrat for the sole purpose of running for president as a Democrat.

Sanders will be an afterthought, the money will dry up to the point that he won't even be able to afford cab fare in Philly.

It's over.

Hillary wins if you say that superdelegates should support the winner of their state.

Hillary wins any way you slice it.

I realize this is terribly inconvenient for HRC supporters, but in the long run (post-HRC presidency) it will pay off for the party.
