While I would like to share Seth Abramson's optimism, given the near lock on superdelegates through the backroom deal known as "The Hillary Victory Fund," I don't believe that anything short of a federal indictment would prevent Hillary from receiving the nomination.

Whether or not Bernie wins the next several primaries will likely make no difference just as it didn't persuade the SD's when Hillary did so at the end of the primaries in '08 and they were much closer in overall vote total and only 100 PD's apart. If Hillary and Bernie were apportioned SD's according to states won, she'd still be at least 550 PD's and SD's ahead of him. The polls that show Bernie ahead of Hillary are meaningless considering she has been running against the GOP, the media and Bernie this election while he's only had to contend with Hillary. He hasn't been subjected to any opposition research but those numbers would change quickly if he was. Just using taxes alone, the GOP would have everyone running scared about how their taxes would rise under a Sanders admin. not to mention the attacks on his praise of Castro and other dictators, his oh so evil "Socialist" stance and more. What they don't have, they'll fabricate as they have done to Hillary for 25 years.

What Ernie said.

Plus, that is a good reason for Sanders to stay in.

The dems will have a candidate if he hangs in there until it is clear that she won't be indicted.

Salon's Ben Norton aptly described superdelegates as the "unelected party nobility."

See, you guys are all still talking common sense and perceived wisdom....also known as Stockholm Syndrome....tut tut tut....let's bust the big picture down clean & simple: people are repelled and frightened by Trump, and disgusted and fed up with Hillary....WORST presidential contest in American history, thanks to unparalleled corruption and collusion between the wealth class and our darling news outlets...

If only one other presidential candidate of integrity and capability were somehow still in the race who could....HEY WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!!!....Bernie Sanders is still running and tirelessly campaigning and WINNING PRIMARIES for god's sake!!....but you wouldn't even know it by reading a motherfucking newspaper or listening to the goddamn motherfucking radio or sitting in front of the jesusfuckingchrist goddamn motherfucking television....or to put it less decorously, ALL current political discussion is invalid and irrelevant precisely because it's ALL premised on misinformation and distorted reality...

Talk is over....these times are a massive call to action....Bernie is singlehandedly leading this nation in a battle to wake the fuck up and save the future of our country and in many ways our world....NO MORE DEBATING WHO WILL DO LESS DAMAGE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, HILLARY OR TRUMP?....are you fucking kidding me??!....LESS DAMAGE???!!!!....just wrap your mind around THAT complete bullshit and let it sink in....your head hurts, now doesn't it?...

WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT!!!....period!....we will be surrounding the Philadelphia convention with an ocean of everyday citizens demanding to be acknowledged and heeded....the time for discussion is gone....all bets are off...

And hold on to your fedoras....we can either read about history or make it....guess which one is getting ready to happen?...

Chicago Mel,

"See, you guys are all still talking common sense and perceived wisdom....also known as Stockholm Syndrome."

That is not what Stockholm Syndrome is, here is what it is:

On August 23rd, 1973 two machine-gun carrying criminals entered a bank in Stockholm, Sweden. Blasting their guns, one prison escapee named Jan-Erik Olsson announced to the terrified bank employees “The party has just begun!” The two bank robbers held four hostages, three women and one man, for the next 131 hours. The hostages were strapped with dynamite and held in a bank vault until finally rescued on August 28th.

After their rescue, the hostages exhibited a shocking attitude considering they were threatened, abused, and feared for their lives for over five days. In their media interviews, it was clear that they supported their captors and actually feared law enforcement personnel who came to their rescue. The hostages had begun to feel the captors were actually protecting them from the police. One woman later became engaged to one of the criminals and another developed a legal defense fund to aid in their criminal defense fees. Clearly, the hostages had “bonded” emotionally with their captors.

(Counselling Resource). That is not common sense or perceived wisdom.

The election will go as planned.

Wait, so voters adoring and embracing political candidates who are openly antithetical to said voters' own well-being don't qualify for Stockholm Syndrome tax writeoffs?....well then, how bout the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle??....Nothing goes as planned!....just ask my parents....the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be Melvin....

I wasn't there so I'm not positive what was going on here, but the following text seems correct in explaining,

This Video.

Democracy in action, and worth a minute of your time. After 14 hours the NV State delegates for Bernie Sanders demanded a recount of the vote for national delegates since it's quite obvious the Bernie delegates significantly outnumbered her delegates. However, Ms. Crowley decided to call to adjourn and ignored the cries of opposition.

The establishment said to follow the rigged rules of the game, but when we do they change the game altogether. What a joke.

The establishment has spoken. I saw Congressman James Sensenbrenner do this with his gavel once.

Problem being is that these corporate owned so called democrats would much rather see Trump win than Bernie because Bernie could stop their gravy train.

The ONLY reason Clinton is allegedly leading is because she has clearly stolen several states.
By June 7th Bernie will have won more states.

IF Clinton manages to still the nomination anyway then she has at best a 5% chance of beating Trump.

Chomsky: Sanders is only losing because of an undemocratic system. If Clinton wins nomination, he'd still vote for her if he lived in a swing state.

That's very interesting Ernest.

I watched Chomski's "Requiem For The American Dream" last night. I know more about him then I ever have now. He's a very smart guy.

Of course I'm still hoping for Sanders and Brad's interview buoyed me up a little. I'm definitely not hoping for another big helping of anticipointment. Too many years of that, being a democrat and all.
