Asking A Candidate to Reach 2383 By Pledged Delegates Only = Asking Them To Win 59% Of The PDs

Do people realize how ridiculous that is?

First of all, if there were no super delegates involved, the number wouldn't be 2383 to reach a majority. It would be 2066 (ie 51% of 4051 pledged delegates).

Hillary currently has 1635 pledged delegates. That means she's only 431 pledged delegates away from having a majority in pledged delegates. Once she gets those 431 pledged delegates, it is impossible for Sanders to get more pledged delegates than her.

The 2383 number exists only because it includes the super delegates. Imagining that a candidate needs to hit 2383 with ONLY pledged delegates is simply ignorant. That's 59% of the total of pledged delegates. That would mean that a candidate who won 58% of the pledged delegates could be denied the nomination by a candidate who received only 42% of the pledged delegates.
