33. it is true he "knows the math" and wants to use

the strength of the campaign and the people who support him to influence the party platform.

however, the current msm meme that he is "influencing the platform or clinton's policies" and only that - is pure clinton / ap meme / strategy.

why do you think the dnc are giving the 5 sanders platform committee members so much flak during the meetings? bernie knows they are not going to let his campaign exert much "influence". but he is going to try. same with hillary at tuesday's meeting.

and, when they (dnc & hillary) do not, he will have even more to support him when talking to the superdelegates to vote for him because bernie knows, the majority of his millions of supporters will not support hillary - so she will not have the votes to beat trump.

Is he still speaking even with what's happened in Orlando? n/t TDale313 Jun 2016 #1
The meeting took place at his home this afternoon Donkees Jun 2016 #2

... and he added, "We're good at math." Makes all the difference. senz Jun 2016 #22
I thought that was ambiguous... Listened to it twice and still thought so. JudyM Jun 2016 #24
Okay, here's why -- senz Jun 2016 #28
Ok, agreeing with everything you write, and where does the "good at math" comment fit into JudyM Jun 2016 #30
Quite simply, the math says she doesn't have the delegate count. senz Jun 2016 #31
I do understand everything you're a saying, senz, and agree with it. I'm good with the background JudyM Jun 2016 #32

How can we help make his case to the superdelegates? senz Jun 2016 #23
I'd suggest start by helping him get as large a share of the DC vote as possible. Calling, JudyM Jun 2016 #25
A friend of mine cast his vote in CA and promptly sent $500 to Bernie's campaign. senz Jun 2016 #27
