Let's do some Hillary math.

[yallerdawg]

Numbers from today's Democratic Pledged and Unpledged Delegate Summary (some numbers subject to change as unpledged delegates may change commitment)

The Democratic candidate needs 2,383 delegate votes to win the nomination. Counting ALL delegates!

Hillary has 2,201 delegate votes.

Bernie has 1,456 delegate votes.

There are 1,107 uncommitted delegates remaining.

Hillary needs 16% - 182 more delegates.

Bernie needs 84% - 927 more delegates.

Could we not presume Hillary is the nominee?

1. She is the nominee. No further explanation needed. Simple math. GO HILLARY!

2. I'm finding I like Math!

3. Looks like we're unanimous

Let's just call it math. (We'll have to say erie's math if that's what we mean).

And welcome aboard DU.

4. I have an Accounting degree, and this all looks correct to me.

Meanwhile, #BernieMath posts make me throw up in my mouth a little at the open affront to reality.

5. no no no

you have it all wrong.

I have been schooled in Bernie math.

Bernie only needs 2026 PD to win. Clinton needs 2383 PD to win.

7. That's because Hillary delegates are worth less than Bernie delegates.

Especially from the deep south, the deep midwest, or the deep northeast.

Bernie doesn't like deep.

6. bwahahahaha

Yes, yes she is!

8. Wonder if Racheal will do any Math with burnie tonight?

Thank you for the explanation, yallerdawg!

9. what is the math for..

Can someone post the math regarding what Bernie needs to do to supposedly pass Hillary in PLEDGE DELEGATES alone. Their argument is the superdelegates do not exist until the final votes in the convention has been tallied. So if hypothetically Bernie does surpass Hillary in PLEDGED delegates, how is this mathematically possible? Is the 66% target for Bernie regarding getting the majority of the pledged (passing 50%) or is that regarding reaching the 2,383. In other words is there any possibility of him catching Hillary in pledge delegates even if we consider a hypothetical of him winning the remaining states/territories?
