then he (and us) has 7 weeks before the convention to convince the super delegates that HRC can't win the GE. I think this may be Bernie's best chance.

(370 posts)1. No convincing should/would be needed
If Bernie wins more pledged delegates and Clinton tries to steal the nomination with superdelegates there would be a mutiny, she would get crushed in the GE.

(1,057 posts)3. He doesn't need to win more pledged delegates, just enough to keep HRC from reaching the 2381
delegates needed for the nomination. It takes about 59% of the pledged delegates to get the nomination without super delegates. If Bernie can win 41% of the pledged delegates then the nomination is decided by the super delegates.

If the damn people don't wake up and throw off their shackles in time, then we'll have to fight all the way to the doors of the convention hall!
