In reply to the discussion: Vast Majority of Democrats Want Sanders to Stay in Race: Poll [View all]puffy socks
(1,473 posts)41. Here's a little reminder as well...
Traditionally, candidates do not wait until the convention to prove how many superdelegates they have. In 2008, Hillary Clinton conceded to Barack Obama two-and-a-half months before the Democratic convention. (The convention started on August 25, Hillary conceded on June 7.)
This year, the Democratic convention starts on July 25. Two-and-a-half months before that date is May 7. That would give Sanders three-and-a-half weeks to catch up on Clintons delegate lead. Remember, Hillarys 2008 delegate count was much closer to Obamas than Sanders delegate count is to Hillarys today.

Although you probably won't admit it, there are two sides to the Democratic Party.

I don't hate Democrats. I don't like Third Way Democrats. I believe Hillary is corrupt.

Current Hillary supporters turn a blind eye to that sordid part of her unsuccessful campaign in '08.

Your reply above made no sense whatsoever, so I was trying to think of something nice to say.
