2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why are you still in the race, Bernie? [View all]metroins
(2,550 posts)48. Are we in bizarro world?
The way Sanders railed against the super delegates, there is no way they will flip.
Especially with Hillary up by 3 million votes.
Many of them would rather flip to a ham sandwich than Bernie with the way he and his supporters tried to harm our preferred nominee, Hillary. He also barely helped any Democrats for election in the past 30 years, while Hillary has helped elect a lot of them.
Bernie does not have many friends in the actual Democratic party, this is obvious by his lacking of support, it's not a reciprocal relationship.
Super delegates will not nominate Bernie. There is no contested convention. Hillary will win on the first ballot.

Why is Hillary even in the race after her vote to illegally invade Iraq?
