Sanders' only path to victory is to flip super delegates who have already committed to Hillary ...
... not bloody likely.
Bernie Sanders has a problem.
Remember those superdelegates, the Democratic Party leaders and elected officials who can vote for the candidate of their choice? The ones Sanders' supporters have been complaining about for months? It turns out, to have a shot at beating out Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, he needs them.
A lot of them.
He needs the ones who remain uncommitted, as well as more than 200 of those who have already publicly endorsed Clinton. Mathematically, Sanders cannot win the nomination without that support.
On Saturday, Sanders netted more than two dozen delegates over Clinton in Washington state after the party released vote data broken down by congressional district.
But his math remains dire.
Clinton won the Guam caucus on Saturday and now needs just 17 percent of the delegates at stake in upcoming contests to clinch the nomination. That means she could lose every single contest by a landslide and still be the nominee if all of her superdelegates continue to support her.

1. Hillary's only path to victory in the GE is ...

3. Pffft ...
All she'll need is Florida where she's polling 15 points ahead of the Trumpster fire.

2. If BS did flip enough Superdelegates to secure the nomination, he would be going against
the "Will of the People". I remember BS cheerleaders early on saying how if Secretary Clinton did that with Superdelegates that she would be tearing the Democratic Party apart. I've read enough of those BS cheerleaders supporting this tactic now that they either didn't mean when they said then, or don't care now.

7. The delusion maintained by so many here, is utterly pathetic.
SDs are not going to overturn Hillary's lead of hundreds of pledged delegates and millions of votes to endorse Sanders, the loser.
The sooner these people accept reality, the quicker will be their road back to sanity.
"back to....."--were they ever there?

10. The will of the people should prevail.
Second place candidates should not become the nominee.
Too bad fairy-boy Justin, co-leader of the supporters of the worthier candidate on Skins's island, wasn't this assertive early on, months ago; if he had been, the Bernie bullies would've never gained the upper hand.

The BS cheerleaders had better sit down, shut up, and accept their lot or else.
