Associated Press updated delegate count:

[George II]

Clinton got commitments from four more Superdelegates!

Here's the new count as of today (5/26/2016):

Clinton Pledged delegates 1,769, Superdelegates 540, Total 2309
Sanders Pledged delegates 1,497, Superdelegates 42, Total 1539

Only 74 more delegates needed for Clinton to win the nomination.

On June 7 several states will hold primaries, the first one to close their polling places is New Jersey, where 126 delegates will be chosen.

Currently the polls show Clinton ahead by 19% in New Jersey. If that stays the same, Clinton will get 75 delegates!

Game, set, match. Clinton wins.

1. Great news....

CLOSER to the Democratic nomination

June 14th is coming FAST

[George II]

29. And when that comes....

[1StrongBlackMan]

2. But ... But ... Super-Delegates don't count until the convention ...

never mind the Pledged delegate count ... and history.

[morningfog]

15. Supers don't count until the convention.

It's a race to 2,026 pledged deleagtes.

[geek tragedy]

26. technically, no delegates count until the convention but I agree that 2026 is the real number. nt

3. Hillary needs around 30 more to clinch after PR.

She'll get around 44 from VI and PR.

[George II]

7. You are right - I overlooked both the VI and PR (nothing intended). Thanks for the reminder.

4. Bernie picked up #43 superdelegate about 12 hours ago.

[George II]

6. Then its 540-43

[Bleacher Creature]

5. Great news! There's too much at stake to continue this craziness.

Donald Trump is truly dangerous and needs to be taken seriously. Wasting any more time with Bernie Sanders only hurts her at this point.

9. He's become that house guest that refuses to leave.

[barrow-wight]

11. Or that 1% of germs that disinfectant doesn't kill.

8. The so-called Superdelegates are un-pledged delegates. That means they can vote any way they want

at the convention. So "for Clinton to win the nomination", we will have to wait until she either has 2383 pledged delegates, or the un-pledged delegates have actually voted at the convention.

The "commitments" are political posturing. They can, and do, turn on a dime if the political landscape shifts. Assuming Hillary gets a good majority of the pledged delegates and assuming no big scandals break before the convention, and assuming the party hierarchy doesn't panic over Hillary's poor poll numbers against Drumpf, those "committed" delegates will likely stay with Hillary and you can say I told you so. But there is something a little unseemly about saying she will "win the nomination", when that is not really possible before the un-pledged delegates have voted (since neither candidate can get a majority by pledged delegates alone).

It might not be the best way to support your candidate to keep repeating things that aren't actually true. Particularly since she already has a big problem with credibility.

But if it makes you feel good, who am I to judge, really?

[baldguy]

21. So, Bernie's whole strategy at this point is to rely on 400 Superdelegates to turn traitor,

Put their integrity in the trash bin, go back on their word & switch their vote for absolutely no reason.

And speaking of supporting your candidate by repeating things that aren't actually true - continuing to insist that Sanders can win is the biggest untruth of all.

10. No need wait for the Democratic Convention to close up shop in GD-P.

Those who wish to hang on until the bitter end can do so in the appropriate discussion group provided.

[Lucinda]

12. KNR Thank you!

[Number23]

16. Fabulous!!!

[realmirage]

17. 8pm eastern time June 7 media will announce Hillary the nominee

That's when jersey polls close

[Alfresco]

18. Excellent!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

19. K&R nt

[workinclasszero]

22. Hillary will clinch the nomination shortly after the NJ primary polls close

[B Calm]

23. So she will not clinch until the convention, thanks but we already knew that.

[George II]

24. AP just updated their Superdelegate count again - Clinton now up to 541....

...my guess is that those who haven't committed will be doing so fast and furious in the next couple of weeks.

This could be over before it's over.

[geek tragedy]

25. It's over when she hits 2026 pledged. At that point, there's no moral case to be made

for the superdelegates to vote for Sanders, and that ends it.

Sanders without moral legitimacy has nothing.

[George II]

28. He's now had three different philosophies regarding superdelegates. His latest one...

...is precisely the one that he decried the loudest and longest about - "they should vote anyway they want". Gone is the idea that they should vote in line with the people of their states via primaries or caucuses.

Once she reaches 2026 (sometime on the evening of June 7) all his options are gone. And she WILL reach 2026. But that really doesn't matter anyway, since the superdelegates will be voting the way they've voted ever since Tad Devine helped setting up the superdelegate system.

By the way, hopefully no one has forgotten that Tad Devine WAS instrumental in establishing the superdelegates.

[geek tragedy]

30. Eh, to heck with him. The number that matters is 2026,and she hits that at 8:00 sharp (local time)

in California on June 7.

[lunamagica]

27. Great news!
