(16,184 posts)and has been consistently leading in pledged delegates and popular vote.
So, again, what would make them all of a sudden ignore all of that and switch to Sanders?

(1,495 posts)If there was enough grassroots movement for Sanders, voters might pressure them enough to not support Clinton. I think everyone needs to vote before the SUPERS try to make the race look like a forgone conclusion. I think that Hillary is just getting votes because people think she is going to win anyway, so why support a loser?

(7,820 posts)Bernie really needs to overtake her in Pledged delegates to make his case. I'm suspecting many of the supers who haven't declared are leaning Bernie cause the easy thing up til now would have been to go for Hillary. If he gets the majority of pledged and a number of the undeclared supers come out for him others formerly for Hillary may break ranks and come over. That's the most likely path for Bernie.

states?
There may quite a number of them, who would be
immune from their decision to stay with HRC.
