102. Bill won every primary after May 5th and needed them all

Fri May 20, 2016, 10:15 PM

May 2016

Without that he didn't get the nomination.

Hillary advisers said they would appeal to the DNC's Rules & Bylaws Committee . Where have I heard the term wine & cheese?

On May 31, the rules committee accepted the Michigan state party's 69-59 distribution of pledged delegates and restored half votes to Florida's and Michigan's delegations.

Hillary in 08 lost before the last two states voted June 3 on super-delegates.

IF Bernie gets close, superdelegates in states he won can switch or avoid controversy and stay home entirely. NEW math.
