Unlike their Republican counterparts, the delegates will respect the will of the people. Then again, that's a bit easier for them as their favorite is almost certainly going to be the winner of the popular vote and the one with the most pledged delegates.

He's not winning California or New York. Those two states alone will all but lock it up for HRC.

No, they won't. Not even with the super People's Delegates of the Proletariat included that the Democratic Socialist Party plenary gave her, she won't meet the threshold.

Super delegates aside, Hillary has a 1756 to 1068 edge and will easily take New York and California. After those two states, she'll have around 2000. Bernie's only chance is if Hillary is indicted.

[URL="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/275634-poll-sanders-closes-gap-in-ny"]SANDERS CLOSES GAP IN NEW YORK[/URL]

But this is what it really says in the article.

"Clinton leads among likely Democratic primary voters 56 percent to 38 percent in the survey. When the same poll was conducted in March, Sanders trailed the former New York senator in her home state by 48 points."

Clearly, the pro-Sanders article wants to excite his supporters. Unfortunately, a large majority of people only see headlines and do not read the articles or pay attention to the facts.

I'm voting for Sanders but I hope Trump wins the GOP nomination. There is nothing schizophrenic there at all. There are very little differences in Clinton, Cruz, Kasich, Ryan, etc.

In the end Trump *might* be the same but we know for certain the others are. Wall Street and War 24/7.

I've asked some....the majority are voting for her on the plumbing issue. Makes no sense to me. She's been awful in leadership in the past, constantly lies, is never open about anything, against the biggest issues the left claims to be for but she sits down when she pee's.

It's not her home state. It was the only state she could get elected in so she moved there.

Then explain Cruz's 'No' votes on the National Defense Authorization Act.

I totally disagree with your logic. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are much closer in ideologies than Bernie Sanders is to Donald Trump or any Republican. In fact, Bernie Sanders said in a recent interview he thinks Obama's nominee for SCOTUS is much too conservative.

So, do you honestly believe Donald Trump or any Republican would nominate a liberal leaning justice? I realize they're all supposed to be neutral when it comes to Constitutional Law, but a Sanders supporter voting for Trump makes no sense at all to me. It would clearly be out of spite, not principle.
