Repost: Bernie can win the nomination with 41% of the pledged delegates

There are 4051 pledged delegates and 713 super-delegates: total = 4764.

(4764/2) + 1 = 2383 to win the nomination.

Suppose Bernie wins 1670 (approximately 41%) of the 4051 pledged delegates.
That means that Clinton will win 2381 pledged delegates; not enough to clinch the nomination.

That leaves Bernie (and us) 7 weeks before the convention to convince the super delegates that HRC can't win the GE. I think this may be Bernie's best chance.

The important thing to remember is: Even if Bernie "loses" every primary, he can still win enough delegates to put up a fight at the convention. So don't give up.

Which I know is impossible due to Caucus states not releasing that data and it isn't how it is done anyway BUT it would be nice to see one person = one vote and choose our leaders that way.

Since it isn't and the future is at stake and because the other side doesn't care how ugly they need to win as long as they win, then I say CONVENTION. Take it all the way.
