Unfortunately that is probably true as the trial balloon has already been floated.

Hillary has far, far, far more at stake in California than just delegates. Here is a prediction. If Hillary loses California it will be obvious that she can not win in November. The indictments will fall. They will then once again ignore a large segment of their constituents and draft Biden.

Then we have a lot of fun at the convention.

I agree. Logical thinking brought me to that conclusion too. If it looks like Hillary can't take the General, they'll throw her under the bus. I think it is obvious to all but the Clinton delusional that there is more than enough to hang Hillary out to dry. I do wonder if they are in a position to say "This is what we have. This is what it means for you. You could drop out gracefully and save yourself and us a lot of trouble." I don't know if that is something that could be done, but it feels about right.

Sadly, I agree with their drafting Biden. I think that will assure a loss. In the same type scenario, I had/have no intention of voting for anyone other than Trump in the GOP. There is "right" and "wrong" and Bernie has earned the nomination. Hillary is a disgrace to her party and our country. Why the heck we would elect someone that has shown incompetence in a lesser position, although having worked in Federal Civil Service, I am familiar with "screw up, move up".

What is there to see? It will be contested unless Bernie drops out or Hillary is indicted on Federal charges.
  • Hillary will absolutely fail to win enough pledged delegates to keep it from being contested regardless of whether she wins California or not. Proportional allotment insures that.
  • She and Bernie will enter convention as equals.
It will be up to the Super Delegates to decide it. By definition, they are not bound by any vote.


(What a sham the DNC has become. i.e. A contested convention consisting of Crooked Hillary vs Bread Line Bernie.)

Sanders doesn't have a prayer, he has nothing to offer. Elizabeth Warren send help.

Hmm. Don't you realize that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are closer allies than Warren/Clinton?

A two party system where both parties are in shambles, and outlying parties are still a joke.

Political coverage should be switched from CNN to Comedy Central.

I used to believe that. I no longer do.

Warren is closest ally with whatever she feels will best promote her.

Hillary/Obama was much closer than Hillary/Bernie.

President Obama did ok.
