It will harm your view of reality as it is dictated by Brock-O'Keefe...
I do this because I care about you all as human beings and would not want you to see something you are not ready to handle...

(8,836 posts)to receive more primary delegates then Hillary Clinton based upon the Democratic Delegate Calculator.

Hillary Clinton would still prevail as nominee unless super-delegates shift to Sanders in proportion to the popular vote.
I did not calculate what % Sanders would require in popular note in remaining primaries to over come the super-delegates pledged to Clinton because that is no way feasible but is roughly about 70% of remaining popular vote.
Sanders is unlikely to prevail but is now in a position that no one, especially Hillary Clinton and her supporters, conceived as possible.
I think Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee and also the likely POTUS.
However, I do not think Hillary Clinton has the substance to be anywhere near as successful as POTUS Obama.
Hillary Clinton would enter office as a flawed and damaged POTUS that split the Democratic Party.
I wish neither Clinton nor Sanders had run for POTUS this election cycle but I support Sanders because he is not a neo-liberal nor a neo-conservative.
Neo-liberal and neo-conservative mean specific policies and methods of attainment and serve money and power supported by violence, Machiavellian method, and social and economic injustice.
Machiavellian is defined as: cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous, especially in politics or in advancing one's career.
Enjoy yourselves.

Now it's at 214 when there are 21 primaries left.
How's that for context?

(1,442 posts)Why can't HRC widen that gap?
on that pace neither candidate will earn enough to clinch it before convention
checking the current trends and surge that gap will close and HRC's 'lead' will shrink
How's that for context?

(1,442 posts)you are holding onto the SD count as a static entity, those numbers within PLEDGED SDs will adjust prior to their ACTUAL casting their candidate supporting vote
so as you continue to avoid the trends and surge that reality is currently showing within this primary cycle I will continue to point out those details and facts you avoid

(1,442 posts)I believe that as Bernie continues on the trend he's on as well as the trend HRC is currently on those SDs will even out quite a bit more
but assume away all you'd like, it seems to be your as well as all the other HRC supporters on this forum

(7,351 posts)It did not change my reality one bit. Still a fan of Clinton, still think she would make a good president but that Sanders would be a better president. Some of us can think on two different fronts and not be ideologues. As for your last pretentious sentence all I can do is laugh because you are so deep in the rabbit hole that you probably think that is true.
