Hillary's super delegate number is not going to go up....

[Buddyblazon]

and Bernies super delegate number is not going to go down.


I just thought I'd bring that little reality into the discussion.

[Buddyblazon]

1. Or lets put it a different way...

Hillary has hit her max number of super delegates. They are hers to lose. She can't gain anymore. She can only lose SD's.

[cosmicone]

2. Her superdelegates will increase soon. n/t

[cosmicone]

7. There are uncommitted superdelegates out there.

Like Elizabeth Warren for example. Doh

[Buddyblazon]

8. Well then...

When Bernie cleans up in WI and NY, we can watch them start slipping to Bernie.

[cosmicone]

11. Yes .. and when my aunt grows a mustache, I'll call her "uncle"

(It is an old Hindi idiom)

[Agschmid]

24. Wow, they got 3 hides for that over the top reaction to you.

Clearly it would be great if we could all bring it down a bit, but that's a lot to ask.

[cosmicone]

25. As long as anti-Hillary screeds are being posted here

I'll continue to defend her.

[Buddyblazon]

9. 11 posts hidden in 90 days...

How does one achieve that, cosmicone?

[cosmicone]

10. It is easy when juries are stacked with Sanders supporters 90%-10%

This is why the admin removed the 5 hide timeouts. 80% of pro-Hillary people had >5 hides.

[randome]

15. Wow. Looking forward to a hide, are you? Interesting you accuse others of being angry.

[Agschmid]

22. Yup.

[Nonhlanhla]

29. Well, you are new here

A full 3 days.

Which is also why you don't have a clue about why the timeout amnesty happened. Hillary supporters were being followed around and alerted on like crazy by some Bernie supporters, which led to the increasing silencing of Hillary supporters on the board.

So the Admin did not end that "just because he's a Hillary supporter."

Your statement that Bernie is the next president is wishful thinking, by the way. It COULD happen, but it is very, very unlikely.

[WhiteTara]

21. seems you got the hide here.

[Agschmid]

23. Three actually. Wow.

[WhiteTara]

27. definitely an angry poster.

[Tarc]

3. Amazing insight, Professor

[Buddyblazon]

6. Thank you for your angry insight,

Tarc.

[Tarc]

19. Well, there was really no point to it

UConn is on a 72-game win stream at the moment. Is it terribly insightful to point out that their win % cannot go any higher?

5. They won't matter. Hillary has millions of more votes and will continue to do so.

It's the Republicans that have a superdelegate problem.

[Vote2016]

18. You know the "million more votes" bullshit ignores a bunch of caucus states, right?

[CalvinballPro]

28. If Bernie wanted to make a popular vote argument, he should have focused on states that count it.

His campaign chose to focus on caucuses, which don't release vote totals because they don't take votes. They cram people into rooms for hours, which drives down participation to ridiculous levels.

Of the votes that have been counted, Clinton is winning. Unless you can prove otherwise, stop lying.

[Vote2016]

30. so if Bernie wanted to lie, he should have laid the groundwork? you're a peach! bless your heart!

[CalvinballPro]

31. Do you even know how many people voted in all of Washington State? Alaska? Hawaii? NO.

So stop acting like you should get credit for a number you're making up.

[Vote2016]

32. that's exactly why it is misleading to talk about vote totals. Washington, Iowa, Alaska, Hawaii, etc

count and suggesting a "vote total" as if it was a total is misleading bullshit.

[CalvinballPro]

33. Those three states didn't have 2 million more people voting for Bernie than Clinton, that's a fact.

I heard WA was like 230K, but Alaska was only about 11K.

Bernie is not winning states big enough to make a difference in any metric. And the "win" itself doesn't count, because that's not what awards delegates.

[reddread]

34. just another line to repeat

so few talking points, so far to go.

[Kalidurga]

16. Ha ha sorry

You are absolutely right. But, telling this to Hillary supporters is funny. They are the ones that think that Comey interviewing Hillary is no big deal. I mean doesn't everyone get interviewed by the head of the FBI at least once in their lives?

[Vote2016]

17. An overwhelming majority of super delegates would refuse to disenfranchise the voters. They know if

the voters choose a candidate but the party nominated a different candidate rejected by the voters, it would be a full scale disaster where we'd lose across the nation from the top of the ballot to the bottom (and it could potentially lead to the end of the party).

That isn't going to happen.

[randome]

20. Buddyblazon just went out a'blazin'.

That level of anger is on par with advocating to not support the Democratic nominee or positing that blacks suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. If he doesn't do something about his unresolved issues, he'll end up tombstoned. Which may be what he wants.

26. Hard for Bernie's SD number to go lower than it is now, though. Has be broken 30 yet? lol

[itsrobert]

35. Where can I catch one of your lectures?

Harvard or Yale? Oxford? Stanford? Princeton?

You are brilliant.

36. Clinton's super delegate number jumped precipitously several months ago, and has been slowly....

...increasing week after week. She's up to 473. Of course it won't increase much more, but only because there aren't too many left to commit to her.

She's received the endorsement and commitment of 16 of 18 Democratic Governors, 40 of 44 Democratic Senators, and 166 of 188 Democratic Congressmen. That's 89% of Democratic office-holders. Not many more that can commit to her.

Sanders, on the other hand, currently has 32 - 0 Governors, 1 Senator (himself), and 7 Congressmen. That's 3% of all Democratic office-holders.

Those numbers in the Senate and Congress are amazing - says quite a bit about how his peers feel about him.
