Hillary Clinton now has over 2160 pledged delegates, and 2026 is a majority of pledged delegates. But this is not enough to make Bernie say that his campaign has berned to ashes yet. He figures that unless Hillary gets 2383 pledged delegates, so that these pledged delegates are a full majority of ALL the delegates, then she hasn't sown it up yet; that she will still need superdelegates to win, and so the convention will be contested.
So far my projections are working out again, except where Hillary is doing better than projected. So Bernie will have no chance to convince any superdelegates to support him, because he does not have a majority of pledged delegates or voters behind him. The superdelegates will have no reason to desert Hillary, and Bernie supporters who blame superdelegates for his loss have no case.
They need to get behind Hillary if they live in swing states and care about their country. Drop the baloney about "integrity" and "trust" issues and that she "cheats" and is "the Establishment." No, Trump is the crony capitalist in this election, not Hillary. She may not be pure as the driven snow, but anyone who thinks we can get pure as the driven snow elected in the United States of America, doesn't know what country they live in.
