2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere is the Real Math not the Bernie Math
The democratic candidate will need 2,026 PLEDGED delegates to win the nomination. Right now Hillary has 1,717. (I don't know if that includes yesterday's NV win). So she needs 309 more PLEDGED delegates. She is on target, actually she is 108% of target.
Bernie, on the other hand is only at 92% of target. He is way behind at 1,437 PLEDGED delegates. He still needs 589 PLEDGED delegates to win the nomination.
There are 897 delegates left but there aren't enough Bernie friendly state left for him to pick up those delegates. He is going to lose CA and NJ. He is presently losing OR which surprises me. He is going to lose PR. Look at the States and territories left and tell me which ones he wins by more than 35 percent.

Explain to me how he gets 589 delegates out of those remaining states.
Now she may lose KY, but she will still get at least 25 delegates. .... you know what, I won't even bother. She will have him put away by CA and NJ where I live will just be icing on the cake.
I wouldn't be so happy about it except for the fact that bernie and his team have been such lying nasty characters for months now.... And I will never get this image out of my mind:

How dare this silly limousine liberal, spoiled hollywood brat confront a woman who put her life on the line to create a better life for thousands of migrant farm workers.
I support HRC for President, oh hell yes. She is the best candidate of my Life!
As far as what happened in NV yesterday. Those 64 people who were dismissed as delegates were dismissed because they either were not registered democrats or could not prove they lived in NV. Six Hillary delegates were dismissed for similar reasons. I do not think these rules are unreasonable.
Bernie's team should have vetted their people better and given them better instructions. Apparently so should have someone on team Hillary. This stuff happens.
As for the video, some bernie peep standing among other bernie peeps shot a video on his/her iphone and so the ayes did seem to take the voice vote, think about it........ had he/she done the same thing among Hillary peeps might the results have seemed different YEAARRRGGG!!!!!

(435 posts)I was too late to run for delegate from NJ. But today I applied online to be a delegate at large from NJ. They have no reason to chose me, I am not a party bigwig. I don't contribute a lot of money because I don't have much. But here's hoping!
