Have people been claiming that Clinton will reach 2383 via pledged delegates alone? [View all] Garrett78 May 2016 OP

The 2383 number is half of all delegates including Super Delegates MohRokTah May 2016 #1

Nor does Jeff Weaver control the nomination process. Using the now desperate Sanders campaign... George II May 2016 #34

Clinton currently has 1770 of the needed 2328 delegated needed, she will not have the those before.. slipslidingaway May 2016 #20

So what is today's philosophy of how superdelegates should decide on their candidate? George II May 2016 #35

I believe that she needs 615 of the remaining 921 remaining CentralMass May 2016 #2

Bullshit. She will secure the nomination before the polls close in CA on June 7 MohRokTah May 2016 #3

She has 1,768 pledged delegates. She needs 615 more by the convention CentralMass May 2016 #4

She has 2305 total delegates She needs 78 more. MohRokTah May 2016 #5

I state that the super delegate count will not be known until the convention. CentralMass May 2016 #8

And that is a completely false statement. We know for a fact 537 have committed to Hillary. MohRokTah May 2016 #11

I am stating raw numbers and making factual statements. CentralMass May 2016 #14

But stating it is a requirement to have a super majority of pledged delegates os NOT factual MohRokTah May 2016 #17

If Hillary maintains the pledged delegate lead by the end CentralMass May 2016 #24

Sanders must win every remaining primary by 33 points to do that. MohRokTah May 2016 #28

And of course Clinton will maintain the pledged delegate lead. Garrett78 May 2016 #29

There are over 150 super delegates who are not committed and are rightfully waiting for the... slipslidingaway May 2016 #23

Try telling that to the 500+ superdelegates that have made up their mind. You know, since... George II May 2016 #38

THAT IS NOT A FACT. Jesus Christ, how is this so hard to understand... fancypants75 May 2016 #10

BULLSHIT! MohRokTah May 2016 #12

Incorrect Corporate666 May 2016 #18

Bingo! wallyworld2 May 2016 #30

I don't have any problem with people arguing that SDs (or PDs for that matter)... Garrett78 May 2016 #32

People are deluding themselves into thinking.... Corporate666 May 2016 #16

Some would switch if the person they had been supporting failed to win the most pledged delegates. Garrett78 May 2016 #33

That's inaccurate. She will secure the majority of pledged delegates, but not the nomination. morningfog May 2016 #37

As I wrote elsewhere in this thread... Garrett78 May 2016 #40

Hillary needs 256 pledged delegates to clinch the majority of pledged delegates--2026. LuvLoogie May 2016 #6

She currently has 1 768 pledged delegates. She needs 615 more. CentralMass May 2016 #9

2383 includes Super Delegates, so you left out 537 delegates. MohRokTah May 2016 #13

If you are equating this to the 2008 primary Senator Obama CentralMass May 2016 #22

BULLSHIT!!!!! MohRokTah May 2016 #25

Obama was literally never trailing Clinton after SC Recursion May 2016 #27

Yes, and it's all but a guarantee that Clinton will maintain her pledged delegate lead. Garrett78 May 2016 #31

This isn't difficult. The only number that matters is 2026. The candidate with 2026 pledged wins Recursion May 2016 #15

2,383 is the number. CentralMass May 2016 #19

If you go with the 2383 number, you must also go with the 2305 as Hillary's delegate couont MohRokTah May 2016 #21

No, it's just not. The superdelegates will not overturn the majority of the pledged delegates Recursion May 2016 #26

No. Lots of people, though, have been claiming MineralMan May 2016 #36

Agreed. I'm left wondering why folks are assembling an army of straw men. Garrett78 May 2016 #39
