Related: About this forumThe Number of The Day Is 0 (Zero) - Steve Kornacki
Steve Kornacki picked zero as the number of the day. And he explained that in 1984 Gary Hart and in 2008 Hillary Clinton were in a similar position as Bernie Sanders and they convinced zero super delegates to switch their vote. He also talked about the term Presumptive Nominee, and how that fits the current situation.

Even though, by the same standards, he is the GOP presumptuous nominee. Double standard much?

He would most likely need to get over 500 to switch.
In the meantime, Clinton will have over 400 more pledged delegates than Sanders when this is over. And probably have over 1,000 more total delegates than Sanders.
