David Shuster ?@DavidShuster · 7h7 hours ago

Citing email investigations + comparative polls v Trump, several @HillaryClinton superdels suggest they'll switch if @BernieSanders wins CA

[Cali_Democrat]

2. Hillary is ahead by hundreds of super delegates and pledged delegates

It won't matter if "several" switch.

It would be pretty much meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

[Cheese Sandwich]

13. Only about 100 or 150 superdelegates would really need to switch to

pretty much neutralize the superdelegate effect.

A lot are uncommitted in the first place.

[oberliner]

27. Neutralizing the super delegates means Hillary wins

Since she will be leading with the pledged delegates (the ones who actually represent real votes, as Bernie says)

[Cheese Sandwich]

39. yep, unless some miracle happens, which it probably won't

Also my math is out of date.

The picture surely has changed since the math was done on March 18.

[hrmjustin]

3. David Shuster tweets a lot of things.

They don't pan out a lot of times.

[MattP]

4. Several or several hundred?

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. "Several"

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Yup

cannot say...

[LP2K12]

7. You left out the additional info he tweeted after...

These superdels, all refusing to be named, may not actually switch...but it underscores their message @HillaryClinton re CA campaign

.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Again, yup

all I will say is... fluid.

[OilemFirchen]

15. Wowza!

Several delegates may not switch.

Did I just feel the earth move?

[KingFlorez]

16. That's really promising

Unnamed people might not switch. That's an absolute coup for Sanders.

[Number23]

19. "These superdels, all refusing to be named, may not actually switch"

may not actually switch

Damn, that fizzled before it was even freaking lit.

[msanthrope]

22. Don't bring Math and facts into this. nt

[SFnomad]

8. How many Superdelegates have switched after they committed so far?

Haven't all of the Superdelegates that have switched been from BS to Secretary Clinton?

[dana_b]

9. let's hope

that they're smart enough to actually do so.

[grossproffit]

11. David Shuster is still bitter over that suspension. Hell hath no fury like a man scorned.

[Godhumor]

12. Uh huh. N/t

[Joe the Revelator]

14. No way man, we're packing it up come June 16.

[StevieM]

17. David Shuster is just ridiculous in his Clinton hatred. I seriously doubt any Clinton SDs

would tell him, even if they were thinking of switching.

The flood of SDs away from Hillary is not based on anything we have seen or heard--just wishful thinking by Clinton's opponents.

[LizetteWest]

18. I feela yuggge victory coming in Cali, maybe 15 to 20 points!

[highprincipleswork]

20. Go Bernie Go. Let's get California. Going out to work for you right now.

[DesertRat]

21. "Superdels, all refusing to be named, may not actually switch"

Shuster's followup tweet:

[Betty Karlson]

23. California: MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE!

You pretty much are our best of the last hopes. Clinton is too weak a GE candidate to get this nomination. Bernie may not be perfect, but at least he is good.

[berni_mccoy]

24. This is why she's doing 30 events in 5 days in California.

[pdsimdars]

36. So, let's do that math. . .. 30 events times (let's be generous) 500 people per event

that comes out to 15,000 people

Which is pretty much a STANDARD sized Bernie rally. (maybe a bit less in CA) I think that the numbers for Bernie rallies in CA have been more around 5000. .. so what Bernie does in a couple of events, it takes Hillary 30 to accomplish. Just sayin' . . . . . ..

[frylock]

38. No no, it's a pivot to the GE.

[Tarc]

25. Oh, THAT David Shuster?

of the

But doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?

infamy?



Shuster is about as credible and as objective as Dick Morris, when speaking about anything Clinton-related.

[still_one]

30. He was rightfully fired for that, and now has a website where at

every opportunity he swipes at Hillary

Your post said it best Tarc, about as credible as Dick Morris

[libdem4life]

31. Sorry to burst your laughing Bubble

but she was trotted out to "be afraid millions would not have health care."

Surprisingly the press did not give her a pass. Nor did her mother stand up for her and take responsibility for crafting her talking points.

Call it what you will. She does not lie well...at all. That I'll give you.

[Tarc]

32. So, you double down on the "pimp" comment?

[libdem4life]

35. Your word. I don't use those kind of words.

The post speaks for itself. IMO, I think it was not what a good mother would do.

[Renew Deal]

26. He will need 450. Good luck

[leeroysphitz]

28. KICK

[still_one]

29. Shuster is a Sander's supporter, so this is a surprise that he can't do math either

[firebrand80]

33. The term "several" is intentionally ambiguous

My guess is that even if he's 100% correct, we're talking about enough SDs to count on one hand. Saying 3 SD's will flip won't get Shuster any attention, because everyone knows that's not even a blip on the radar. So, he uses the term "several," which invites people to wildly speculate.

[pdsimdars]

34. I figured at least SOME of them were intelligent and had a connection with reality.

[MineralMan]

37. "Several" won't make any difference at all.

Sorry.

[LexVegas]

40. ....
