If Hillary cared about the General Election, she would SUSPEND HER CAMPAIGN!

One thing we know with great certainty, if HRC wins NY, the Sanders campaign will start screaming about cheating. It happens every time.

He wanted to run as a Democrat - he and his supporters should accept the rules instead of continually complaining.
They were the rules PRIOR to either of their campaign stated. They were not bent to support either candidate.

(11,953 posts)According to Green Papers, they each got 78 delegates, even though Hillary was declared the winner by 1.8 points in the popular vote.

(11,953 posts)then it applies to both Wyoming and Illinois.
In each case, one candidate won the state in popular vote, but both candidates tied in delegates.

(53,467 posts)The delegate lead is not being cut.
It's really the number delegates gained not the "wins".
If someone is ahead by 200 delegates and both get 7 delegates in a small state, the one in the lead is still 200 delegates ahead and closer to the finish line.

(29,798 posts)I see in one race a twelve pint margin of victory being called a win, due to some what musr be bizzare methods of calculating state delegates, the 12 point victory ends in a delegate tie, but it's a decisive win and a delegate tie, both those statements are true, but are being conflated as meaning the same thing.
