(10,493 posts)Until then, they don't. Several have already stated they will go with the will of the people, even though they have endorsed their preferred candidate.
As a Bernie supporter, I don't have issue with an SD giving an endorsement, that's different than putting their SD Vote in the cement for a candidate, IMHO. The media and the Clinton camp really should to back off on that narrative if they want to keep the party together, because they are causing a significant rift that will be difficult, if not impossible, to repair.

And 1 in Nebraska, where Sanders won by 10

(30,247 posts)I think that they will break about even on the delegate count of the four states.
