Hillary needs 73 delegates to get to 2,383 - Victory!

https://interactives.ap.org/2016/delegate-tracker/

June 4th and 5th (next weekend) Virgin Islands (12) and Puerto Rico (67) vote. Hillary is expected to pick up 40-50 more pledged delegates.

Given how Bernie has been stirring the pot with veiled threats of disunity and disruption, how hard would it be for 30-40 out of 120 plus remaining Democratic insider superdelegates - OUR people - to commit to Hillary this coming week - and make June 7th completely irrelevant?

It's only in alternative reality land that Hillary won't win the nomination outright in less than 10 days no matter how much foxnews and tea party talking points are discussed here....

this from Associated Press delegate tracker:

NOTE: Totals and individual state results include unpledged “superdelegates” — party members free to back the candidate of their choice — who have told The Associated Press whom they support. GOP totals include unbound delegates who are free to support the candidate of their choice.

6. It is endorsements, just like Sanders has from some of the SD's, is it a problem?
