9. Ms. Clinton wins on first ballot

The contest really isn't close, although Mr. Sanders is doing much better than I though he would.

Bernie math is not applied in real life. He's getting to be a bitter old delusional sore loser.

12. Hmm, he's addressing the Superdelegates first? (After watching full video)

Proposing a different system than has always been the standard, for the Superdelegates to follow the pledged delegates, if no candidate gets it in a landslide?

... it sounds more like the Democratic Primary version of a concession speech before the votes are over -- that they plan to, of course, fight through the last primaries, to make sure every person gets to vote. To keep interest in the campaign. Strongly attacking the GOP and current front-runner.

Hillary can respond graciously, saying that of course the voting isn't over! She probably won't even have to say anything in response to the arguments he made against her. Just that Bernie agreed to the Party process when he declared his candidacy, and that she feels it is unnecessary to attack the many superdelegates in this election who were early endorsers by suggesting that they will not consider the will of the voters, just as they did when this same situation happened in 2008.

11. Sanders has apparently decided he's not going to lose

gracefully with his dignity intact.Send money.

13. Bernie is lying to his supporters to keep small dollar donations coming in

The Sanders campaign has to lie to its supporters to keep the small dollar donations coming in. Sanders will not be the nominee

14. I have never accepted the argument that Sanders is electable

Sanders is totally unvetted because the new media does not believe that he will be the nominee and the Clinton campaign has been treating Sanders with kids gloves. There is a ton of stuff that would be used by Trump to destroy Sanders. I am not willing to risk the control of the SCOTUS to a candidate who I firmly believe is not electable. Trump and Rove has way too much material that would destroy Sanders in a general election.
