***** It's now official - Clinton wins Guam caucuses *****







Hillary Clinton won the Guam Democratic caucuses Saturday, defeating Bernie Sanders four days after his surprise victory in Indiana.
Guam’s results don’t make a significant difference in terms of the overall delegate chase, but a Sanders win would have allowed him to claim further momentum after his Indiana win on Tuesday and before his likely wins in West Virginia and Oregon later this month.

So much for Guam being insignificant, Tim Robbins. With this Guam win, bernie is officially unable to get to 2386. He can only get to 2385 and that's if he wins every single delegate left.

It's all about the math.

As of today, there are 926 delegates outstanding through the end of the primary season. He has 1459 delegates (including the 41 superdelegates he's acquired). 1459 + 926 = 2385. From this point on, every delegate that Secretary Clinton gets, takes him further from 2386.
