So What if Sanders Has Won More Delegates Than Hillary, Will SuperDelegates Switch?

[LordBrownTrout]

It's her turn. Doesn't matter if crazy bernie win every state.

 

[Skylar]

It was her turn in 2008. Didn't work out without the majority of the pledged delegates.

Serious question; So here is a hypothetical question.

Sanders has been winning most of the predominately white northern states, with a few exceptions. Hillary has been winning mostly due to black turnout, and now that her Southern states have all voted, she faces a dry period ahead. She is ahead in New York, but Sanders has won 7 of the last 8 primaries, and is definitely building momentum.

So if Sanders wins 2,200 delegates and Hillary wins only 1800 total delegates (not counting her Super delegates), is there any chance that the Super delegates will switch to Sanders? Should they?

Yup. Just like in 2008.

2008 is so yesterday: Democrats l-o-v-e Hillary Clinton in new WaPo-ABC poll. Bernie Sanders? Not so much.

All leading indicators, and a harsh reality is that, Hillary has and will continue to hold, more pledged delegates than Sanders

Not her turn, so much as she did the ground game early on. She also made sure she did everything she could to prevent a repeat of tactics used in 2008. Bernie is always at a disadvantage, and he is not as popular with democrats as Hillary is. Facts are facts

Most likely.

The real question is who would Obama prefer to be corrupt with more?

Why are you here in this thread? Seriously, it's an honest question. Is it only to troll, or do you have something of substance to add?

I can say what I want if it's apart of this subject, big guy. So I'll go with Obama preferring to be corrupt with Hillary.

There's no chance of Sanders getting more delegates than Clinton so it's a moot point. Pretending it could happen, there's no way super delegates break for Sanders. Clinton is the party choice.

I am seeing a bunch of unwarranted, unsupported assertions...no evidence, nor reasoning.

Hillary just has the whole thing fixed for her to win, is that what you are saying?

proportional races make it nearly impossible for sanders to make up the 200 odd pledged delegates he's behind.
last night was big for him and he only made up something like 10 delegates. he simply can't pass her at this point.

So sanders is just a "challenge" sideshow the demos let happen to gift Hillary the nomination that was supposed to happen in 08.

No one says you cannot. Whether you should, is another question.

If it was 'supposed' to happen in 2008, why didn't it?

reality check: candidates stay in a race for a myriad of reasons. One main reason for Sanders would be taking his following into the convention. Life is a sideshow, and by your comments, you appear to be a circus freak.

thank you for the entertainment

Another is to force Hillary to adopt some of his platform in order to bring his people along. Heathcare reform wasn't a major issue for Obama until he had to adopt it to beat Hillary.

The fix is in, Hildabeast will win The nomination no matter what…

We should all ask that question. I don't know how the super delegates were organized in 08.

Another one with so little to add. Why are you here in this thread? Seriously, I am curious about people like you. I'm actually interviewing a 'troll' for an article I am working on

 

[Seawytch]

In 2008 Super Delegates pledged to Clinton switched to Obama when he started winning more of the pledge delegates. That would happen with Sanders as well. The math isn't there though.
