Democratic Primary Reality Will Make Bernie Supporters Understand

The winner of the Democratic primary needs 2383 out of a possible 4764 delegates, and much is being made about the recent polling coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire showing a closing of the gap between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. For excited Sanders fans thinking of pulling off the improbable and anxious Clinton fans wondering if this is 2008 all over again, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has some advice:




Delegates and SuperDelegates

We’ve already explained how delegates are awarded in a Democratic Primary:

The Democratic Party always uses a proportional method for awarding delegates. The percentage of delegates each candidate is awarded (or the number of undecided delegates) is representative of the mood of the caucus-goers or the number of primary votes for the candidate.

The Superdelegates are all Hillary’s.


The 712 superdelegates are only less than a third of the 2,382 total delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. Superdelegates are not technically bound to vote for anyone (although, while there were some switchers in 2008, it’s rare).

These numbers mean Hillary has already gotten 15 percent of the delegates needed before any voting has begun. In other words, she starts with a 15 percentage point head start over Sanders..............

[Thinkingabout]

1. In reality they will both probably get twenty some delegates from Iowa.

Sanders is already behind in the numbers because of the super delegates, it is going to be a big uphill climb all the time ay for Sanders until the time Hillary receives 2383 of the delegates. By the end of March the run 🏃 will be over.

2. Hillary needs a popular vote in in Iowa.

That will blunt Bernie's campaign.
