There's only one currency valid in this transaction, and that's delegates.

5. Narratives matter to Super Delegates. If you need them to win, you have to make a case you can win.

She's got a huge delegate margin, far larger than that of Barack Obama when the supers switched to him.

It's in the bag, Joe. It's over. It's all formalities from here on out.

8. You said the only currency that matters is delegates, I agree with you...she can't close the deal

with what she has, she's losing nationally, and she can't win in big states anymore against weak, old, Bernie Sanders. Why would the super's nominate a loser?
