HRC has now been prevented from reaching the nomination threshold of 2,383 with pledged delegates.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...ults.html?_r=0

She now has to pin her hopes on the People's delegates--who won't cast votes on a Hero of Working Families proletariat leader until the People's Party Congress later in July.

Hillary Clinton is only about 140 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination for President.

Bernie Sanders is DOA, Hillary is focusing on Donald Trump!

She is now mathematically eliminated from reaching 2383 before the Party plenary in late summer.

There is no worry that the dissident, hooligan Bernie Sanders will prevail. He's a known agitator and is anti-Party. And he's keerazy.

His docile, apathetic, layabout supporters can be led by the nose if you suggest to them that their time is better spent just planning brunch with their apartment dogs in tow.

Sure, there is money for 50 years of tuition free college p***** away in Iraq, $3 trillion. People who whine about investing in education and then vote for candidates who supported such debacles dont have any credibility.

Sweden spends practically nothing on defense and they still pay 32% taxes for "free" healthcare and college. You should know better man, you seem like an intelligent poster. There is no such thing as free anything, someone always pays for it.

Ailing Hillary Clinton Now Needs Votes From Superdelegate Elite To Get 2016 Nomination - Breitbart
Hillary may be a weak candidate, but Sanders is an even weaker candidate. Hillary is very unpopular, yet she is still beating Sanders by millions of votes. She has been a top Democrat for decades, of course she has the best cards in her hand. That doesn't mean the system is rigged. Sanders, not entirely unlike Cruz burnt a lot of political bridges over his political career, and so he is an outsider fighting an insiders game. It's not surprising and it shouldn't be unexpected that Hillary is the candidate of choice for most Democrat leaders and voters.

I don't like Hillary, but I can see that Sanders was always a long shot, in fact, I am very amazed he has gotten this far and gotten this much support, however, I don't see that as a show of Sanders support, but a lack of support for Hillary.

I honestly don't know what I am going to do this November. I really don't like Hillary or Trump, but I don't really want to vote third party either.

Give women the right to vote and this crazy train happens. No respect for the men of 1919. Why you let this happen???

Again with lack of math.

Hillary has 1716 pledged delegates. If the standard were in fact that a candidate needs 2383 in solely pledge delegates, she'd need 667. That is 72% of the remaining pledged delegates. It would be tough but obviously it's not mathematically impossible.

Of course, that's not actually the standard, which is 2383 combined from both pledged AND superdelegates. And she's less than 150 away from that when you add in the superdelegates that have expressed their intent to vote for her, exactly as the Democratic nominating system is designed to work.
