Sanders isn't going away yet Hillary trolls.

Yeah, we're aware that he's too selfish to end his vanity campaign and let the party united behind the inevitable nominee.

To be fair to ProgCanadian..

the only inevitability about Clinton is how rigged the delegate system is in her favor. If this weren't the case, the Clinton camp would be sh[it]ting bricks about the current momentum of Bernie.

Huh

How is the delegate system rigged in her favor?! She's crushing him in the popular vote and crushing him with pledged delegates.

Were it not for the superdelegates, it appears Bernie would be catching her quickly and this race would be far from "called" already on the Democrats side. She is doing well, yes, but Bernie is going uphill every single primary election day that comes around. Again, I'm not trying to pick sides here because I could frankly worry less as I clearly won't affiliate with the party come 2016, just mentioning observations.

She most certainly does have the upper hand regardless, just saying it's not completely fair to discredit the campaigns uphill fight these past few months. It's blown up from a "joke" developed by some hippies into an actually full blown competitive campaign pushing Hillary to play ball.

I think you may be confused. Hillary's delegate advantage is extremely strong even without the superdelegates.

Wow a two hundred delegate lead how can he ever overcome that....oh wait California has over 500. Her lead isn't as big as it's perceived to be.

Two words: proportional allocation. If some states were winner take all, you'd have a point.

IIRC, Obama never led Hillary by more than 150 or so delegates.

I get that it's proportional but when more than half the states haven't voted yet it's hard to declare a winner. Especially when Bernie has the Big MO.

First he has to get the MO today by winning Missouri. Tongue
