Sorry Bernie

But we are now going to be including the super delegates in Hillary's delegate total. They are as good as pledged to her since after the trashing you gave not only them but the entire Democratic party. So expect them to be included. She only needs maybe 400 more delegates to secure the nomination. Its over. CA is now rendered irrelevant.

DU can't decide the primary, but we can use the bandwidth for settling scores with one another, and for general gloating.

It's like middle school.

So you are basically cheating? Using the super delegates to control the narrative long before the election, in that case...

do.

Include whatever you want. Do whatever you want. Doesn't mean it's right.

No, superdelegates don't count till they vote at the convention.

Yes, CA does definitely count and is not irrelevant.

The reason super delegates will not change is that Democrats gave Clinton more Pledged Delegates and the popular vote, by several million votes. (2008 was a much closer election.) To switch and give their vote to a candidate that did not win the popular or the pledged delegates would be unacceptable.
