Repeat After Me: 2383 [View all]
In the interest of promoting cold, hard facts and seeing things as they are, and not as we might like them to be:
2383. That is the official number of delegates needed, this cycle, to clinch the nomination and become the presumptive Democratic nominee.
This takes into account both pledged and "super" delegates.
This is the exact same metric the Democratic party has used for over forty years to calibrate the state of the race.
