So far, in many of the States he has won with the popular vote, he's getting less delegates.Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-75372688789730961972016-05-04T16:24:44.558-07:002016-05-04T16:24:44.558-07:00Because Obama was left off Michigan's ballot i...Because Obama was left off Michigan's ballot in 2008, Hillary beat him with the popular vote. But because superdelegates sided with him, he won the nomination. In 2008 HRC didn't think superdelegates were very Democratic. In 2016, she loves them!<br /><br />This is why Bernie should run as an Indie -- no closed primaries to contend with and no rigged primary results.Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-82396075700550389862016-05-04T16:11:22.007-07:002016-05-04T16:11:22.007-07:00If he wins 70% of a state should he not only be en...If he wins 70% of a state should he not only be entitled to 70% of the super delegates?enigma_ragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470112771814837823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-34667392282392678012016-05-04T16:09:50.398-07:002016-05-04T16:09:50.398-07:00A convention is not contested until one candidate ...A convention is not contested until one candidate fails to gain 2383 after the first round of voting. This first round of voting includes the super delegates. Also if HRC gains 60% of the remaining delegates she will reach 2383 pledged delegates before the convention votes. enigma_ragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470112771814837823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-11816915964172150772016-05-02T15:17:05.000-07:002016-05-02T15:17:05.000-07:00While addressing thousands of supporters at an NAA...<br />While addressing thousands of supporters at an NAACP dinner, Hillary Clinton sharply contrasted President Obama's White House -- still incredibly popular among black Americans -- with some of Trump's recent missteps on race.

So if Sanders sweeps a state, the superdelegates should vote for him — even if they personally prefer Clinton.<br /><br />“If I win a state with 70 percent of the votes, you know what? I think I’m entitled to those superdelegates,” he said. “I think the superdelegates should reflect what the people in the state want. And that’s true for Hillary Clinton as well. I can’t tell you one thing for me and another thing for Hillary Clinton.”<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-superdelegates_us_57269509e4b01a5ebde5f91eBud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-26967514102496561862016-05-02T15:09:57.646-07:002016-05-02T15:09:57.646-07:00Bernie Sanders at Press Club:

She will need superdelegates to take her over the top at the convention in Philadelphia. “In other words the convention will be a contested contest. We believe we are in a very strong position to win these remaining contests and we have an excellent chance to win in California, the state with far and away the most number of delegates.”<br /><br />[June 14 is when Washington D.C. votes, but with an 80% Black population, Clinton is expected to win big there.]<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/01/bernie-sanders-contested-convention-hillary-clinton-delegates<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
