78 more delegates and Hillary achieves the "presumed nominee" status

[beachbum bob]

I would congratulate the many sanders supporters who are pushing more super delegates to Hillary as well....Hillary may wrap this all up before the California primary

"According to the Associated Press, 78 more delegates and Hillary Clinton clinches the Democratic nomination. Historic! She will be the first woman ever nominated by a major political party in US history."




She also continues to pick up much more support from superdelegates, the party leaders who can back any candidate of their choice, dampening Sanders' chances further even as he insists he can win them over later this summer. In the last week, Clinton picked up 12 new superdelegate endorsements while Sanders netted two, according to an Associated Press survey.

When including superdelegates, Clinton's lead grows to 2,305, or 97 percent of the 2,383 delegates needed to win the nomination.

It’s possible even more superdelegates will declare their support before June 7th, placing her closer to clinching the nomination and all the news organizations and networks will call the race on June 7th, declaring Hillary the nominee of our party.

Hillary will have more than enough of the required pledged delegates, 2026 and more than enough superdelegates to put her over 2,383. Any talk of superdelegate strategies over turning the will of the voters will be put to rest that day.

And there's lots more where those came from

7. In fact, after Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (June 4-5) Hillary may be down to a handful.

California won't matter. NJ will put Hillary ahead by a hundred delegates before California finishes voting.

I have my bubbly ready for June 7 (or earlier)!!!

8. LOL

Here are the numbers:

Hillary has 1771 pledged delegates. Bernie has 1487 pledged delegates (284 fewer than Hill).

Hillary needs 612 more pledged delegates to get to 2383.

There are only 781 pledged delegates left in the remaining nine primaries:

Virgin Islands, PR, CA Mont NJ, NM, ND SD, DC

9. Wait.

There's only 781 pledged delegates left? Because that means Bernie needs 896 more to win it (based on the numbers you posted). He needs more delegates than are available. No matter what way you look at it, Hillary has the majority.
