HRC Would need 612 More Pledged Delegates to Clinch Nomination; It Will Be Contested Convention
HRC only has 1771 PLEDGED delegates & needs 612 more 2 outright clinch nomination, not 86 as CNN claims
She will not be able to do so, and this is why it will be a contested convention.
And, this is one of MANY reasons why it is arrogant and unacceptable of her to declare herself the presumptive nominee.
<<<just checked the always-reliable New York Times delegate count; Messalina Agrippina currently has 1,768 pledged delegates and 525 superdelegates, for a total of 2,293 delegates, period.
That's 2,293 delegates, period.
It doesn't make any difference if they're pledged delegates or superdelegates; each one counts for "1," no more, no less.
Gawd.
<<<so disgusted with how stupid the Bernie bullies are, that didn't bother reading primitive comments to this utter bullshit.

It is actually possible that by remaining in the race, Bernie can deny her the technical win before the convention, leaving the balance of power with the superdelegates (A vast majority of whom would, of course, stay with Hitlery) so that the race remains undecided until the actual first ballot at their convention. This is not desirable to anyone but Bernie supporters (And Discordians like me, of course) since as the only other candidate who made it to the convention, he would become the heir apparent for the Dem candidacy if she is forced to drop out afterward.

Berniebots must realize they have no chance of picking off the Hildebeast's superdelegates.
The only purpose of superdelegates is to stymie lunatic candidates like Bernie and Trump.
The mystery is how Bernie is apparently getting 40 (out of 700 or so) to vote for him.
