To Sum It All Up

I know that I just blasted you with a ridiculous amount of information and I hope you’re not feeling too overwhelmed — but it had to be done. You must be armed with the facts so that the media will not be able to demoralize you in the coming weeks! To make it up to you, here’s a cliff-notes version, to use at your convenience in the future:

? Neither candidate will be clinching the nomination before the convention because there aren’t enough delegates left and the super-delegates do not vote until the convention on July 25th.

? The real delegate count, as of May 28th, for Bernie Sanders & Hillary Clinton is 1,500/45.9% vs. 1,770/54.1%

? Bernie Sanders needs to win about 67.3% of the remaining pledged delegates to secure the majority, or 2,026 pledged delegates.

? That percentage is liable to shift as we make little gains at the state conventions, most of which will take place over the month of June (don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated but watch for little changes to the delegate counts on websites like the Green Papers).
