FEEL THE (CLINTON) BURN! PLUS IT WILL ONLY GONNA GET STRONGER!
Demographically, the Clinton burn will be stronger today than at any other time. She can look forward to getting these margins in MS, LA, and DC, but nowhere else.

She doesn't need those massive margins anymore due to her massive delegate lead. Even in the worst case scenario, she just needs to keep most contests remotely close. Easy peasy.

She needs big wins otherwise she could loose. CA, PA, etc have huge delegates & a 7-8% loss would make substantial differences. Add to it the string of states Bernie will win next.

She needs big wins MS,LA,IL,FL, etc to put this race to bed. If she is like 350 delegate ahead, it will be impossible for Bernie

You wish dude. Just go back to reddit already.

This is common sense. When you have 1000 Delegates left (say) with 40 days left with a 100-150 delegate margin, if you call it over, you're just dumb.

You're sig counting the Super Delegates is also insanely dumb & I don't want to waste my time explaining, you should have the intelligence to figure that out- I don't want to waste my time with you so there goes my last reply to you!!!

The magic number is 2,383 to clinch the nomination. She can do this with even a Superdelegate, although it will be a state that officially takes her over. So you are just plain wrong. A delegate is a delegate is a delegate.

No you're wrong.  Let me ask you something.  If Sanders beats Hillary in pledged delegates, do you think the superdelegates would still vote for Hillary?  They would be crazy to do so, unless they want the party to be destroyed in the general election.  Superdelegates haven't taken a pledge, so counting them right now is idiotic.

He has no chance now of doing that.

We will have to agree to disagree about that.  I think Bernie still has a chance.  Sure, Clinton is the favorite right now, but it's not over IMO.  As long as Bernie remains competitive until March 15, and his supporters don't give up, he can turn things around when the more left wing states begin voting.
I was at the campaign headquarters tonight in Portland and there was a lot of excitement.  People still have hope and that's what's important.

God we should just let Sanders win to allow Progressive Canadian and Jfrern to ramble in peace

But when the clinton trolls do it it's perfectly ok.
