PT Barnum and the other Clown maestros can clump Super D's into the count, and you'll eat the pablum right along with the other misinformed...

and outstanding candidate than Bernie in my life. He is by far the most influential person in this race and exceptionally qualified for the job. The president we need.

people at DU/HRC supporters are mature enough to hold off on their hubris and derision...which is always unbecoming...and await actual votes.

Bern got some new math,,,,,, if he mutiplies the number of pledged delegates by the square root of minus one then add the number of superdelegates divided by 0, it equals a majority of Bern....... Bern is Hoot!

Thank you, Donkees, for the posting. It's basic arithmetic versus complicated higher math. We are not solving for unknowns at the moment. The x and y values are still offstage.

that Hillary Clinton is not a strong enough candidate to win without these kinds of tactics..

And the fact that that a 74 year old Ind.Socialist, without a super pac, took the current Democratic party establishment's candidate all the way to the convention can't be covered up with false math!

is that by the time of the convention, Clinton will have won millions of more votes and more pledged delegates, and now Bernie is asking superdelegates to overturn the will of the majority of Democratic voters. It's an astounding and sad display of hypocrisy, by him and many of his supporters, and its a humiliating way to end what was once an extraordinary and dynamic campaign. Its like a pro sports player who doesn't realize he no longer has what it takes to win, but can't seem to leave the spotlight and the sport with the dignity in which he entered the game. I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for him after watching how he handles defeat, because loosing shows your true character much more than winning. And I was once a huge Bernie supporter who actually was leaning towards voting for him at one point. He is clearly willing to jeopardize everything we have fought for over the last 8 yrs, for the sake of his own ego, and it's sickening and sad to watch. The truth of the matter is that Hillary took her beating more like a man 8 yrs ago, than Bernie is doing today.
