28. Most likely, no

She a bit over 600 down without superdelegates, so no - the probability of that happening is not likely. Super delegates technically do not count until the convention - so although some news networks may call for her on the 7th this will almost certainly be a contested convention unless there is some sort of wild card--Hillary's indicted, Sanders decides to run as an independent etc.

They are probably nearly tipping that way. LiberalFighter May 2016 #25
