Clinton has delegates to win Democratic nomination
#2
Oops, guess Sanders is not too happy at the moment with the MSM


Sanders Blames Media's 'Rush to Judgment' as Clinton Hits Delegate Majority


Quote: Bernie Sanders' campaign derided media organizations Monday night for declaring Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, arguing that her purported win is dependent on unpledged "superdelegates" who will not formally vote until the party's convention in July.

"It is unfortunate that the media, in a rush to judgement, are ignoring the Democratic National Committee's clear statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer," spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement.

"Secretary Clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination. She will be dependent on superdelegates who do not vote until July 25 and who can change their minds between now and then," he said, adding "Our job from now until the convention is to convince those superdelegates that Bernie is by far the strongest candidate against Donald Trump."


NBC News, the Associated Press and other media organizations named Clinton as the presumptive nominee based on both her pledged and unpledged delegate counts.

But Sanders is not giving up just yet....

Quote: Sanders has argued that superdelegates — elected officials and other party leaders who are not bound to vote for the candidate their state selected in its primary contest — should not be counted in the final tally even if they have made formal commitments to individual candidates.

His campaign believes that they can still put the nomination within reach for the Vermont senator by convincing Clinton-backing superdelegates to switch their support to Sanders, who they note performs better than Clinton in hypothetical head-to-head contests against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump.



Might as well grab a box of popcorn and have a seat

Between the Dems battling it out and Trump's outbursts catching everyone off guard, this is going to be one hell of an election year!!
