Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: Sanders' called-for superdelegate rule changes = still far behind, regardless of method [View all]CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)... well before the convention and everyone would know it. Think about it, in a two person race without super delegates someone would definitely win before the convention.
Sanders has to win 67% to 33% (a margin of 34%) in every remaining contest just to pull even with Hillary in pledge delegate count. In every state that he doesn't win by that margin, Sanders has to win by in every remaining state by a still higher margin.
In fact, as I am writing this Sanders has a better chance of flipping some of super delegates than he does of winning the pledged delegate race, and I can assure you, neither of those two things are going to happen and Sanders and his campaign know it.
And soon his supporters will know it as well and his contributions, which have already slowed, will be shut down almost completely. Candidates drop out of races, not because of lack of will to continue, but because they have no money left to pay for travel and their campaign staff. However, I expect Bernie to keep just enough money back to take his campaign into the convention where he will lose on the first ballot. The only drama will be which state will be the one to put Hillary over the top.
