(249 posts)Contested: A situation in which no candidate has an overall majority of all delegates.
Bernie supporters need to look at the last close primary (2008) to see how this works.
Clinton will have a majority of pledged delegates and superdelegates, thus she will be able to win on the first ballot.
Anything other than this outcome would be wholly undemocratic and a spit in the face of the millions of women and people of color that gave (and will give) her the delegates she needs for a majority.
Superdelegates don't overturn the will of the majority of the pledged delegates anymore (though that was why they were created). You can't find a single example in at least 30+ years that proves otherwise.
2026 - July 7th - this thing is over whether Bernie and his supporters like it or not. All the yelling and screaming in the world won't change the will of the people.
