(19,564 posts)31. Isn't this thing won via delegates? And, isn't Sanders behind to date?
This would be like Buttigieg claiming he was clearly the front runner now. Which he kind of is, but I doubt he'll announce. It's all too tenuous.
PSA: Premature delegation isn't fun for any of the parties involved. It always leads to one person feeling too fulfilled and proud and another left wanting. Which often leads to self-fulfillment down the road by the other person. Which tends to not end well for the premature delegation candidate, their egos often get... deflated.
It's best to give this some time and let the active parties get their groove on and see how it fleshes out.

Hi. We've never met in person, but it's sad to know you despise me for something other people did.

I don't believe for one second that Bernie would approve of that behavior.
