11011

After a sweep of the US Virgin Islands (insert your own joke here) for 7 delegates and winning Puerto Rico to gain 33 delegates of the 60 available, Ms. Clinton is now 27 delegates away from clinching the nomination. The binary representation of 27 is 11011. Yes, I am a nerd!

There is a well documented phenomena that people will vote for the candidate that they think will win - we all like to vote for the winning team. This trait is not as well-developed with Democrats in general and me specifically: I live in Texas and I am very comfortable voting for the losing side!

I predict that Ms. Clinton being so close to the finish line will increase her margins of victory in NJ and cause her to win CA.

She really racked them up in Michigan, Indiana and west Virginia.

His only chance at winning is for the supers to flip the will of the people.
