In reply to the discussion: Steve Kornacki Explains Why HRC Won't Get Enough Pledged Delegates to Get Nom Even After California [View all]Tarc
(10,478 posts)46. All Hillary has to hit is 2,026, which is a guarantee that the supers will then vote for her
at the convention, as they have at every other convention.
I swear that on the morning of January 20th, when Hillary is being inaugurated, there will be be Berniefans screeching that Justice Roberts, if he really really really wanted to, could summon Sanders onto the stage and swear him in instead.

OP
yes, please make it go viral; this is not what the M$M, and especially MSNBC, wants anyone to see

"War Admiral" - how ironic. CNN panel tonight couldn't wait to conflate Trump protesters with Bernie

He also said Clinton and Sanders are close in CA and that will not put her over the top (eom)

According to Kornachi, after the estimated pledged delegates are awarded, she needs to win 95%

I understand that a simple majority can work but I also understand the supers do not count until

Ditto what Samantha says, and, additionally, Obama was not under FBI Investigation

It's exactly as Bernie said. Yet "some" here insist Hill has already won, BUT SHE HASN'T.

I haven't seen many people expect her to hit the 2383 on pledged delegates alone.

Common sense and objectivity doesn't go over well with some 'round these parts.

What it means is 1884 pledged delegates for Hillary, vs 2344 pledged delegates for Bernie

There must be an epidemic of people claiming Clinton will reach 2383 via pledged delegates alone.

You are not making any sense what-so-ever! Supers don't even vote until the convention.

He's only talking about pledged delegates because that's what Sanders is trying to push.

You are the one living in la-la land if you think you can count those SD votes before they are cast

A delegate is a delegate. There is no distinction between the too, I know.

Amborin says the MSM, especially MSNBC, doesn't want anyone to see that MSNBC video.

Nobody disputes the idea that Clinton won't reach 2383 via pledged delegates alone.

Exactly. And MSNBC took down the video because they knew it was misleading.

She needs 612 more pledged delegates (Kornacki's number) to make it to the magic number
Samantha

So he would need that many plus ~600 more to get 2383 in pledged delegates alone.

From what he said recently, he is shooting for a simple majority of pledged delegates over Hillary

To get a majority of pledged delegates, he'll need about 75% of the California vote...

I saw it and the way Kornacki explains it, Bernie's got a real shot at the convention.

It doesn't matter. Superdelegates DO count - regardless of Bernie insisting they don't.

And how ironic that he wants to steal unpledged delegates that voted for Hillary in order to win.
