Clinton Extends Delegate Lead Despite 22-Point N.H. Loss: AP

[Purveyor]

Over the past week, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has gathered endorsements of 87 more superdelegates, while Bernie Sanders added 11, AP reports.

* After N.H. and Iowa, Sanders had lead among delegates, 36-32; when superdelegates are counted, Clinton leads 481-55, AP says

* NOTE: Superdelegates can change their mind before party convention in July

* If superdelegates continue to back Clinton in same pattern, Sanders must win remaining primaries by a landslide to catch her: AP

* NOTE: There are 712 superdelegates, or about 30% of the 2,382 delegates needed for nomination

1. Super delegates are not "committed" until they cast a vote.

It is just silly and desperate to attempt to count them now. Supers will NOT vote against the will of the people, certainly not just to push HRC. Such desperation only makes the smart ones among us laugh.

2. notice to the supers

we will not be intimidated
we will not be discouraged
we will not be silenced
we will not be cast aside

we will win this nomination and you WILL support bernie, or you can kiss your jobs, your futures, the general election, and the democratic party goodbye forever

do not take us on. you will lose, and lose big.

9. Most "supers" will follow the popular vote. The end.

Seems the worm is turning, as Hillary supporters grow more and more desperate each hour. Even the myth of her "overwhelming" black support is beginning to show its flaws. Sorry you seem to have the "sads" , but elections have consequences.

3. Super delegates can flip so it is premature to count those delegates as if votes have been cast

11. The only thing this foretells is Democratic loss in November, if superdelegates make the difference.

14. Bernie will be the nominee.

Bernie will be nominated by acclimation at the convention. He will go on to defeat the republofuck in November.The "supers" will NOT tip it for Hillary, even IF she stays in the race until the convention. Bookmark it!
