Clinton needs 70 delegates to secure nomination - see RealClear Politics link:

[Bill USA]

Clinton has 2,312 delgates. You need 2,382 to get nomination. Difference is 70. IT's basic arithmetic.

1. Super delegates haven't voted and can change their declared vote.

But you probably knew that.

Clinton will not secure the nomination with pledged delegates. It will be a contested convention. It may end on the first vote, but it won't be over before that.

Sorry. It's basic primary rules.

6. Pledged delegates aren't bound either, but nobody argues that they'll switch.

2383 is 2383

2. Hillary has 1,769 pledged delegates. Bernie has 1,501 pledged delegates.

This will be a contested convention.

3. It's pretty clear the BS cheerleaders are not going to let reality intrude on their fantasies

Secretary Clinton DOES NOT NEED 2382 Pledged Delegates to get the nomination .. it says that NOWHERE.

Secretary Clinton will do what Barack Obama did on June 3rd, 2008 and that is become the Presumptive Nominee because she has the required number of delegates when you count both the Pledged Delegates and the Superdelegates. Back in 2008, the SDs had not voted yet either and Clinton had not withdrawn from the race, but they still called Barack Obama the Presumptive Nominee ... and remember, the race in 2008 was MUCH CLOSER than this one is.

It's time the BS cheerleaders face reality ... but they'd rather continue to throw temper tantrums.

4. Reality is right above your post.

5. Reality is nowhere near the post above mine ... Secretary Clinton on the first ballot

And everyone except for those that believe in #BernieMath will be calling Secretary Clinton the Presumptive Nominee after the June 7th Primaries.

7. Presumptive Nominee

Does not equal Nominee.

8. Presumptive Nominee means it's over ... and all the party is waiting for is the convention to make

it official.
