Highlight:

Latest Delegate Count: (Also, Clinton narrowly won Guam for a gain of 1). [View all] silvershadow May 2016 OP

Bogus count. Doesn't include superdelegates. Gomez163 May 2016 #1

They haven't voted yet. nt silvershadow May 2016 #2

Nor have the pledged delegates. Not buying the Bernie spin. Gomez163 May 2016 #3

"If somebody has the majority of the delegates from the votes of the people.... virtualobserver May 2016 #5

She will get there June 7th. Zynx May 2016 #7

we will see virtualobserver May 2016 #10

Unless she gets wiped out in CA, it's a done deal. Zynx May 2016 #12

That is the point...there are so many delegates being chosen on June 7th. virtualobserver May 2016 #14

Not really, no. Zynx May 2016 #16

They aren't correctly polling the level of independents...and Hillary supporters are complacent. virtualobserver May 2016 #19

Bernie CANNOT get enough delegates to win. Hortensis May 2016 #32

he only has to win a majority of pledged delegates.. virtualobserver May 2016 #33

He CANNOT. Since Indiana he needs more delegates than Hortensis May 2016 #36

Sigh...debunking the lie one more time: lagomorph777 May 2016 #43

Believe what you want, but strap a pillow Hortensis May 2016 #44

It's not an opinion or a "belief"; it's an objective numerical fact. lagomorph777 May 2016 #45

I would settle for an accurate accounting first. Let's see where all the disenfranchisement scandal silvershadow May 2016 #15

The pledged are fixed, the supers not. morningfog May 2016 #24

What a ridiculous and specious claim. dchill May 2016 #27

Thanks! n/t KoKo May 2016 #4

yw! nt silvershadow May 2016 #21

Thanks for introducing me to him... I enjoy his posts. n/t JimDandy May 2016 #6

You are welcome. He does an an interesting take on things. nt silvershadow May 2016 #20

I do not think the author added in the 31 delegate net gain Sanders had today with WA fizzlerynx May 2016 #8

He added them even before today. onenote May 2016 #11

His Washington delegates have been baked in since the caucuses Zynx May 2016 #17

Narrow? She won Guam 60-40, four times the Indiana margin. CrowCityDem May 2016 #9

Delegate math Kittycat May 2016 #28

True, but she won 57% of the delegates. If that's 'narrow', Bernie's "big win" is basically a tie. CrowCityDem May 2016 #38

K & R AzDar May 2016 #13

A win is a win. Narrowly doesn't matter. Ask Bernie how many states or caucuses he's narrowly won. politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #18

She beat him by 20 points. Demsrule86 May 2016 #26

1 delegate. You know how we award points. Kittycat May 2016 #29

It was not a close primray Demsrule86 May 2016 #30

It was 1 delegate. Kittycat May 2016 #31

You are confusing the popular vote with the delegates required to win. Tiggeroshii May 2016 #34

For Bernie, a narrow loss, is as good as a huge loss. He has to win delegates by 70% or more to Fla Dem May 2016 #42

Ironically, Guam's superdelegates go with the popular vote. joshcryer May 2016 #22

As should the delegates from every state. It's just the right thing to do, and I am glad they are Tiggeroshii May 2016 #35

If supers had to vote with their states Bernie would still be behind. Buzz cook May 2016 #37

Not by 700 delegates Tiggeroshii May 2016 #39

Make up your mind Buzz cook May 2016 #40

Never said it would Tiggeroshii May 2016 #41

Congratulations to Hillary on winning Guam! Nye Bevan May 2016 #23

She won Guam by 20 points...according to Demsrule86 May 2016 #25
