Okay. How many pledged delegates do YOU think she has? morningfog Feb 2016 #33
Yes, In 2008 many Clinton supporters were happy until they learned 'superdelegates' are unpledged. PoliticAverse Feb 2016 #35

And that's why it is relevant to the point of your post.

Sanders has a chance to win in an all white neighbor to Vermont.

Amazing!

He's toast after. If you don't see that then you aren't lookimg.

Congrats on the big NH win!

Sanders will hold his own in the blue states


Only the swing states have any standing

Sanders 60% Clinton 40%

Delegates won: sanders 14, Clinton 10

Total count: Sanders 43, Clinton 395

Then we have NV and SC. Clinton wins both

Then.... Super Tuesday.

It's so over

After NH, Bernie will lead outright in pledged delegates. The Super delegates are irrelevant until the convention, remove them from the count.

The national polls have tightened and will more. Hillary does not have a lock on NV. Yes, she'll take SC.

All bets are off. Super Tuesday will not be the end. Guaranteed.

You are deluding yourself. Sanders has no shot. None.

But keep the faith. Oh, and mark this post for later review.

It's going to be a long March for Sanders supporters

Mark this. It will NOT be over on super Tuesday. Hillary will NOT have enough delegates to secure it. And Bernie will NOT be ending his campaign then.

Don't rush it. Settle in for a long primary. Bookmark it.

Until this time (at least technically.)

There isn't enough of a history for this statistic to be worth a damn.
