(3,845 posts)Of the total 4051 pledged delegates, the current count is:
Hillary: 1444
Bernie: 1207
Total: 2651
So with 2651 allocated so far there are (4051 - 2651 = 1400) remaining to be allocated by way of future Democratic primaries.
A majority of the 4051 delegates is 2026. Bernie therefore needs (2026 - 1207 = 819) more delegates in order to have a majority.
So Bernie needs to get 819 out of the remaining 1400 delegates, which is 58.5%.

(30,058 posts)Perhaps in the party primary you are talking your figures may be correct but not in the DNC primary. Maybe Hillary and the GOP nominee will be running in an election with the winner of the primary you are talking.

(1,681 posts)The super delegates will go with the will of the people.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)But using your method all of the super delegates will vote for Hillary, she has the most delegates and the most votes.

(24,689 posts)but there are others here who might come to their senses.

(2,565 posts)Its amazing how much denial Clinton supporters are in.
It will be kind amusing to watch the post toasties of the democratic party in November.

Sorry, but Clinton IS a republican.

(6,007 posts)To get enough PLEDGED delegates, she would need to get over 68% of remaining delegates.
And wow, I just noticed, this must be one of those threads that puts a bee under the bonnet of the Hillary supporters because I am the 12th comment but I can only see mine and one other.

We need to start expecting more from our candidates. A precedent should be set: Third Way apparatchiks get monkey-wrenched.
Stuckinthebush
(10,845 posts)Just annoyed at the denial.

SaschaHM
(2,897 posts)If it's Hillary, they should go with Bernie.
That's why the goalpost in pledged delegates for Bernie is 2026 and for Clinton is 2383.
Stuckinthebush
(10,845 posts)If Hillary has more pledged delegates then the supers should do what is best for the party and vote for Bernard
If Hillary has fewer pledged delegates then the supers should do the right thing and vote with the majority - which favors Bernard
Because....Hillary is corrupt and mean and petty, and wears bad clothes, and cackles, and BILLIONAIRES!

(1,656 posts)Fuck no. You play until you either win or lose.
There are 1400+ delegates up for grabs...
And, I'll bet that if neither candidate has the sufficient number of delegates,
the Super Delegates will be allocated to Sanders.
The Democratic Party better wise up. Sanders is the real deal - not Clinton.
There is no way Americans will vote for Clinton to become president.

It's a win-win for Hillary and the Dems, so by all means, donate to Bernard!
