In reply to the discussion: Steve Kornacki Explains Why HRC Won't Get Enough Pledged Delegates to Get Nom Even After California [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)He opened up with Sanders' statement about having a narrow path to the nomination and his belief he could possibly win. Kornacki's presentation analyzed that and agreed with Sanders' statement. He also commented that New Jersey would not put Clinton over the top, she needs 612 pledged delegates, and there are 781 available from the remaining states, including California. She would have to win 95 percent of the remaining available delegates and that is not going to happen. She will go to the convention without having closed the nomination with pledged delegates alone. If all her super-delegates stick with her, she will be put over the top with their votes.
This is exactly why she and the Brock brigade keep insisting Bernie should drop out. Hillary wants to lock up the nomination before the convention, which she could do if Bernie did indeed drop out. But he is going to convention. And the repeated statement that Sanders saying the race is hurting Hillary is laughable on its face. The only thing hurting Hillary is Hillary.
