There is not going to be a contested convention. Hillary wins the nomination on the 1st ballot.

[Yavin4]

The Super Delegates will vote for her, as they have pledged publicly to do so. This primary has been over since March 15th.

Everything else is just sound and fury signifying nothing.

1. Keep making predictions... PLEASE

[anotherproletariat]

30. Honestly, why would any super delegates vote for Sanders? He is a new member of the party,

and from his recent behavior his dedication is obviously in question. Clinton has been forming friendships and working partnerships with many of the super delegates for years.

Not to mention that Hillary has won the popular vote in a landslide, and has a large majority of pledged delegates. His only argument is the electability thing...which he is basing on notoriously inaccurate spring 'what if' polls.

2. what does Sanders need to do to win over the inaccurate psychics demographic?

[RichVRichV]

27. You would have to ask Nate Silver that one.

[Cheese Sandwich]

3. It's contested until the first ballot. Literally there will be a contested convention.

Bernie Sanders is not dropping out of the race until the race is officially over. Why is that hard to grasp? Why is that is difficult concept? What do you not understand?

[Tarc]

24. "It's contested until the first ballot"

Did you really just say that? Really?

[RichVRichV]

29. It is a factual statement.

The race is contested until one candidate reaches the minimum threshold for a majority or the other candidate concedes. Since it's unlikely either candidate will reach the threshold until the convention and Bernie has made it clear he's not conceding until then (and I presume the same for Hillary) the nomination will be contested at the convention (even being decided on the first vote there).

This really isn't a hard concept to understand.

[Tarc]

31. It is akin to "I'm awake until I go to sleep"

It was 100% meaningless.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

4. Keep telling yourself that.

You're just showing the arrogance that turns independents off Clinton and her supporters.

Nothing is inevitable.

[Iliyah]

5. Yep.

[Fuddnik]

6. !

7. Trump: I ask all my repub fans to cross over n vote for bernie in remining primaries nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. THIS. Is true desperation.

[rhett o rick]

8. You sadly judge the Left by how you'd bow down to your authoritarian leader.

The millions that have come out to support Sen Sanders are doing so to try to destroy your corrupt culture of Big Money Politics.
No one said it would be easy but we are in for the long haul. Unlike the Clinton followers, we will not bow before the almighty Goldman-Sachs/Koch Bros.

[sheshe2]

11. ...

[rhett o rick]

13. I am glad you agree. Shame on those that put Goldman-Sachs profits before helping the

2,500,000 American children living in poverty.

[sheshe2]

17. Great spin!

Nah, It was shame on you, yet you knew that.

You and BS give the same tired stump speeches, with no solutions.

[rhett o rick]

18. And you choose to side with the Big Money I guess believing maybe they will trickle some down.

They don't care about your social justice issues, they care about profits.

[sheshe2]

19. FYI Rhett.

Guess you never have read a word I said if you think I believe in trickle down. As for social justice, the banks don't care and neither does BS. Bernie believes money will buy us all happiness, as a woman I say he is wrong. As a person that has Asian, Latino and AA members in my family, I say he is wrong. The trickle down social justice that BS supports will NEVER happen.

I am so tired of the BS and your mantra of BANKS OLIGARGH GOLDMAN SACHS!

[rhett o rick]

20. You chose to side with the Rich against the Poor. Shame. nm

[sheshe2]

22. Bullshit!

I am fucking poor.

We are done here, I am sick of your accusations. You know nothing about me and mine.

[rhett o rick]

23. Why would you side with Goldman-Sachs? They don't care about the poor. nm

[Dem2]

26. Every argument an ad hominem or logical fallacy

Well done.

[rhett o rick]

28. There are two sides to this class war. Sanders and the 99% are fighting for our lives.

Clinton with her $150,000,000 wealth gained from gifts from friends and those that blindly follow her are siding with the Wealthy 1%.

It doesn't make sense to side with the Koch Bros and expect them to help the poor.

[sister_rosa_refried]

9. Yes indeed, dear.

[Ned_Devine]

10. While many of you really like and believe in HRC, there are still many that really don't

And they're not republicans. They're liberal democrats like me. They're people that may have gone un-enrolled because they don't care for the two party system that doesn't serve them and finally see a viable alternative to the status quo. And it's not because they just "don't like her." They don't trust her and the people she surrounds herself with. They don't care for her propensity for war and her poor decisions in the past regarding war and peace. So while many of you are ready to announce her nomination, remember there are many of us that aren't and we want our voices heard. We're not fooled.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. I like how Camp Hillary is all about the unicorns and fairy dust now. nt

[alittlelark]

15. Bless your heart.....

[NurseJackie]

16. I know!

[oasis]

21. The Supers pledged before the Pope visit and "birdie" thing happened.

So they have the option of a "do-over".

[Fawke Em]

25. And you lose to Trump.

Not me. I don't care anymore.
