2026 ...the winning number

[RobertEarl]

2026 is a majority of pledged delegates at the convention.

When Bernie has that many pledged delegates in Philly, he will own the convention and the nomination will be his.

Really, if it is even close to 2026 a case can be made that he should win the nomination. And it will be close.

This thread describes the math

1. 655 is the other number

Bernie now has 1,371 pledged delegates

To get to 2,026 he needs just 655 more delegates.

1371 + 655 = 2026

There are 10 more states to be counted. We can do this.

2. H needs 382

H has 1,664 pledged delegates, she needs 382 = 2026
