That's why they're saying the voting was rigged and therefore illegitimate.

(29,704 posts)she will continue to have more pledged delegates no matter what tonight brings. Delegates are proportional.
Or do you mean she'll reach 2383?

(10,721 posts)And of course she'll surpass that number tonight, as we've known for months that she would.
Replace caucuses with primaries and she likely would have surpassed that number well before tonight.

(236 posts)I was naïve in thinking everyone on the site understood the difference between superdelegates and pledged delegates because there has been so much criticism of the democratic party for the use of superdelegates. Generally the criticism is their use is undemocratic. So if Hillary wins a majority of the pledged delegates will the dissenters concede she has won?

I think the process has worked.
And MSNBC has just declared her the pledged delegate winner. So now let's trounce Trump!

(8,419 posts)She won the majority of pledged delegates now, this was basically over after the NY Primary. Held out hope for a miracle but no luck.
Bernie will concede in the next couple of days, people will be pissy. I am over it already.
