In what way will Bernie win (or not win) the nomination?

[Chichiri]

How will the whole thing go down, or not go down?

I'm just really curious, Bernie supporters, what do you see as the endgame here?

1. Hoping sanders is not going the angry old socialist route and the wish

To destroy America as so many of supporters do

2. I voted for what I hope that Bernie will do.

I'm not sure whether I believe that will happen. I've lost all faith in him, I'm afraid.

But I can still hope.

5. I voted for what I hope he'll do and what I think he'll do.

But a contested convention wouldn't shock me. It doesn't really matter, though, because there definitely won't be a brokered convention. Clinton will easily top 2383 on the first vote.

8. Me too.

9. One round of voting is not "contested" though.

Clinton having enough combined delegates to win before the convention even begins means the idea of a contested convention is a fantasy.

[Garrett78]

13. From what I understand...

...if Sanders hasn't conceded and Clinton hasn't reached 2383 by way of pledged delegates alone (since superdelegates don't officially count until the vote occurs), then it meets the definition of "contested." If neither candidate were to reach 2383 as a result of that first vote, then it would meet the definition of "brokered." The latter obviously won't happen, but the former could. I still think, though, that Sanders will concede prior to the first vote.

But Clinton will have somewhere around 2200 pledged delegates and the vote will put her well over 2383 whether Sanders has conceded or not.

3. I voted...

Bernie will not win, but will contest it all the way to Philadelphia even if it helps Trump, because revolution.

Because like his mouthpiece said "Trump will bring the revolution". Bernie is fighting us, the Democratic party/Obama coalition not Trump and the republicans.

[zipplewrath]

10. Well, definitely the Clinton/Obama/DLC coalition

I don't think you'd get much argument from the Bernie folks about that. The issue would be calling that the "democratic party". There are probably 5 major factions of the Democratic Party. Bernie is probably at least 2 of them.

4. K&R!

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. I voted for what I expect him to do. I remain open to surprise.

[msongs]

7. angry, bitter. he will try to pull the whole thing down with him nt

[jillan]

11. Flamebait. How kind of you.

[bigwillq]

12. Hillary will officially win the nomination at the convention.

Sanders will endorse and support her. He will tell his supporters to do the same. Some will, some won't.

Long live democracy!

[ucrdem]

14. It's only 67% if you subtract the superdelagates.

He actually needs 90% of remaining unallocated delegates. He has no hope in hades and that's a fact.

[StevieM]

15. I believe that if Hillary is nominated Bernie will campaign vigorously for her, just as she did

for Barack Obama in 2008.
