to victory for the DNC nominee. Allowing Trump to be elected is a losing game for all progressives.

"Indictment fairy"

...is a moth in the flame at this point. The question is: how much damage is he willing to do on his way out?

He has planted the Hillary hate in the minds of his supporters--only he can address it. Fortunately time will help ease it, but meanwhile we also must adjust to the unnecessary destructive consequences of his "I'm the greatest" campaign. Outcome not known at this point--I would not put anything past him.

is personal responsibility.

Well said, pandr.. when someone shows you who they are.. believe it. " Mr Crash & Bern is a moth in the flame at this point."

His poll numbers and campaign contributions should start falling like rocks at this point.
Mahalo for what you said, Cha.

on anything.. so disappointed in her.. perpetuating the vicious bullshite.

All she would have had to do was call him out on his crap and his supporters and that might have helped to tone it down. As it is.. the more they get away with the worse they'll get.

Aloha, pandr

I was disgusted!

...admit that Clinton is the nominee, and stop acting destructively.

And the administrators on this site have to fully reinstate the TOS and start enforcing them. The primary season is over, now on to the General Election.

been stuck with Donald????

Even if a bunch of republicans crossed over to sabotage our primaries, we never have to worry about some unqualified egomaniac taking over our party!

That's why Democrats have built in safeguards. Smart!

Hillary would still be winning. That's the little fact that they can't get through their heads and that Bernie's campaign tries very hard to obscure.

There are 4051 pledged delegates in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries,_2016

There are an additional 719 unpledged delegates (the SDs), but only 715 of these count as votes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

If the election were based on pledged delegates alone, the number required for a majority would NOT include the SDs number. Period.

So all Hillary would need would to win would be a majority of the 4051. 4051/2 = 2025.5 (rounded to = 2026)+1 = 2027.

Per 538, she already has 1,701 pledged delegates, meaning that without SDs, she would need a maximum of 326 more pledged delegates to have a majority +1.

Again per 538, Bernie has 1,417 pledged delegates. Without SDs, he would need a minimum of 610 more pledged delegates to have a majority +1.

He would have to win EVERY single remaining state by HUGE (or YUGE!) margins. That just ain't gonna happen.

It is NOT the SDs who are enabling Hillary's Dem nomination. It is a) her lead in pledged delegates and b) her lead in the popular vote. That is what we should stress. Bernie & Co are trying desperately to obscure the facts here and have managed to confuse everyone. The media have not helped.

plunge it into chaos!!!

and we concur on their being a safeguard. But the fact is that it is not because of SDs that Hillary is winning. It is because she is the BEST candidate, has the most pledged delegates, and has three million more popular votes than Bernie right now.

Those leads will continue to increase. So when the SBS whiners keep on whining about SDs being undemocratic - unless, of course, those SDs have the wisdom to bow down before Bernie's greatness even when he trails in pledged delegates and popular votes - please remind them that Hillary IS winning by ALL measures.

So they can bend themselves out of shape now but soon enough they will be presented with a fait accompli!

therefore the country and the Planet.. and that is not acceptable.

Mahalo Chi~

for him to win.

Take heart my friends, we all know she's won this already!
