(1,415 posts)I mean, seriously. Show me how he overcomes a 600 delegate deficit with a proportional delegate allocation system. He is not going to win 60/40 in every race from here on in. Do you realize that is what he needs to do? Read the article.

(3,017 posts)Not from an idiot who counts the superdelegates from states that haven't even had primaries yet as being in Hillary's vote total.
The actual deficit in delegates is about 200, not 600.
And I'm going under the assumption that you already knew that and am putting you on Ignore.

(1,415 posts)..and you are not right. Why would Hillary's pledged superdelegates jump ship?

(1,415 posts)I'm a high level Democrat in, say, Michigan. Important enough to be a superdelegate. Long ago I announced for Hillary Clinton because I have a bright future and thought she was inevitable. So far she has crushed Bernie Sanders and is way ahead in delegates, by 200 from the primaries and caucuses to date. Why exactly do I decide to commit political suicide by jumping to Bernie?
