How so? bravenak Jun 2016 #13

The math! nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #17

Regular math has her almost at her mark of 2383 bravenak Jun 2016 #19

You forgot to add supers bravenak Jun 2016 #22

Because they haven't been pledged yet and won't be until the Convention. But you knew that. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #23

Your opinion bravenak Jun 2016 #27

Based on fact. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #29

I live in the real world Gothmog Jun 2016 #64

Do you not remember what happened in 2008? LonePirate Jun 2016 #56

I don't see what that has to do with anything. Hillary conceded. Bernie hasn't. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #60

Bernie will concede by June 17th. Possibly even as early as this Wednesday. LonePirate Jun 2016 #66

Well if you have such excelllent psychic abilites, why do we even bother with elections. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #67

If only my psychich abilities could predict when you will accept the reality of the primary race. LonePirate Jun 2016 #68

After the convention, of course. That wasn't so hard. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #69

You mean roughly six weeks after Bernie concedes? Got it! LonePirate Jun 2016 #72

Just remember: don't preempt with rhetoric. Let the convention unfold. Don't set up everyone ancianita Jun 2016 #37

Anybody disrupting should be removed bravenak Jun 2016 #45

No such thing is going to happen. Disruption is what the politicians and delegates do at EVERY ancianita Jun 2016 #48

No they will not have their way. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #63

Our choice is to move on on Tuesday bravenak Jun 2016 #55

You ARE entitled to do that. floriduck Jun 2016 #59

Sorry as of Tuesday, she is the presumptive nominee...we are not waiting over month to begin the GE Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #61

Bad behavior should not be tolerated. But there will be no official nominee until decided at the floriduck Jun 2016 #62
