Hillary has 502 delegates, Bernie has 70. And most of Hillary's delegates are super delegates. In the Democratic Primary, 2,383 delegates are needed for nomination. I believe if Bernie wins, he will get into office. If Hillary wins, I believe a Republican will get into office because there is speculation that Bernie's supporters will not support Clinton in November.
Corporate media use this tactic to suppress morale among supporters of the anti-establishment candidate. They dont explain it.
Forget about superdelegates. They will switch to the winner or else the party will be destroyed. It is 50-50 among pledged delegates. That's what matters.
Superdelegates can and do change, they are not set in stone. Whoever winds up with the pledged delegate lead from the Primary and Caucus will win the nomination.
So far ony New Hampshire has results that will be directly tied to the Convention. Iowa and Nevada both have further state Conventions in which the true number will be finaliized, but estimates can be made at this point.
N.H went 15-9 in favor of Sanders
Iowa appears to be 23-21 in favor of Clinton, but with one delegate (going to the state winner) so insanely close it could be 22-22. With the further conventions upcomming which could result in a slight change (including the smal amount of O'Malley supporters) it is basically 22-21 in favor of Clinton with 1 too close to call.
Nevada's estimate appears to be either 20-15 or 19-16 in favor of Clinton depending on the final margin in CD-4. again this coud also change at the state and county conventions, especially with how close the margin is to where it is needed to be for either a 3-3 split or 4-2 split.
So basically what we have currently might be a 52-51 Clinton lead, could be a 52-51 Sanders lead or even a 53-50 Sanders lead, although the best way to probably describe it is 51-50 Sanders lead with 2 delegates too close to call

They will support her in the end. Every election people claim that if X makes it in the voters for Y won't turn out. And in every election those same people turn out and support the winner of the primary.
