They think they're going to get free college and legal pot in all 50 states.

Bernie put up a good fight and was a positive influence in the primary, but the contest wasn't even close.
You didn't address anything I said. 2219 pledged delegates is not enough for the Nomination. So the Super Delegates will decide it.

Per the Rules, she is on equal footing with Bernie as, per the rules, they can vote for either one.

LOL. Still harping on this I see?


Perchance you should pay attention to the Republiklan party at this juncture. They are busy trying to figure out ways to deny Donald the nomination in Cleveland. Reading the rules; re-writing the rules; contacting delegates . . it's gonna be interesting!

Harping? Not from me. I simply state DNC rules for nominations. The Rules are the Rules. Per the Rules, Bernie & Hillary go into the convention as equals. It will be the Super Delegates who pick the nominee and until the convention, they can change their vote at any time.

Bernie Sanders still makes argument that he is the better candidate to beat Trump. Polling supports his argument. He hasn't conceded so the race is still on.

Your argument is as valid as saying that Donald Trump is not a GOP nominee.

Technically correct, but an eye roller in either case. We all know that the super delegates will confirm the decision of the voters (via pledged delegates), as they have done since the system's inception.

Many Bernie Sanders backers have no interest in conceding to Hillary Clinton

Hmm. Nope. Hillary claims to have won the popular vote in 2008.

But I'm glad that you acknowledge that I'm correct. So case closed.

Getting indicted wouldn't be enough....she wouldn't drop out, and probably wouldn't lose many votes. A terminal diagnosis re an illness might be enough.
