The convention will not be "contested", and it would be bad news not good news if it did. YouDig Jun 2016 #12

You are characterizing Bernie's determination as trying to "pull" something... davidlynch Jun 2016 #15

He's trying to pull a superdelegate coup, he's not even hiding that anymore. YouDig Jun 2016 #17

You guys are paranoid he doesn't have magic powers to "pull" anything... davidlynch Jun 2016 #20

They don't want to hear anything rational. They have chosen to follow Clinton no matter what rhett o rick Jun 2016 #14

Because claiming there's going to be a contested convention isn't true? sufrommich Jun 2016 #16

"Contested" simply means Superdelegates will have to vote to decide the outcome... davidlynch Jun 2016 #18

Yes,I know what the technical term means. I also sufrommich Jun 2016 #19

There is no way: Bernie isn't the type to "play" his supporters... davidlynch Jun 2016 #22

What other motive could there be? sufrommich Jun 2016 #23

Bernie is hoping the SDs will think he's the stronger candidate to beat Trump davidlynch Jun 2016 #25
