It is interesting how the undemocratic super delegates turned into his potential friends. This is an area which will continue to go against Sanders.

they would only total 100% if they were tied.

Basically, just like having long odds on Sanders.

Remember, those two percentages are what each needs to win to get the majority of delegates. They can't BOTH get the majority, so one of them won't reach that goal, and at the beginning of the primary they would have both been at 51%. As she has gotten more delegates, her % has gone down while his % has gone up.

Hopefully, she will be at 0% soon. (Funny note - Kasich's required remaining delegate number for the nomination is currently 100%)

It popped into my head: Here we are athe half-way point and some the voters voted of something other than Clinton or Sanders. So C + S not = 50%. Thanks for bearing with me.

It's numbers and percentages.

Clinton holds a 707-delegate lead over Sanders among all delegates, 1,565 to 858. And among pledged delegates, it's 1,129 to 835 -- a difference of 294. To get to the magic number of 2,383 to clinch the nomination, Clinton needs to win 35% of the remaining delegates, while Sanders needs to win 65%.

Hillary needs to win a lot less of the remaining delegates to get to the magic number than Bernie!

They gave these percentages a couple night ago on Chris Hayes' show: 35% for HRC and 65% for BS

the general already. She is fundraising for her fight against the republicans this week and leaving Bernie and Jane to make media fiascos of themselves.

Thanks to President Obama's little party in Texas, the coffers are open and the big donors to our party are helping her prepare to take on the GOTP and their owners the Koch Bros et al. This is the kind of support only available to the Democratic nominee. It's telling that she has stopped raising money for the primaries while Bernie is still hitting up the faithful.
