61 delegates away from nomination

Last edited Sun Jun 5, 2016, 11:42 AM - Edit history (1)

With today's six delegates from the US Virgin Islands, Clinton only needs 61 delegates more to pass the threshold for nomination.

There are 67 delegates as stake tomorrow in Puerto Rico.

On Tuesday, June 7, Hillary Clinton will become the Democratic nominee when NJ reports its results.

Correction: 60 delegates away. She swept the Virgin Islands!

Bernie's fans have been screaming for Hillary's indictment for (insert reason) since Sanders entered the campaign, and Trump likes calling her "Crooked Hillary."

The irony would be if Hillary goes to the White House and both Sanders and Trump find themselves in prison.

We're not allowed to count! We're all supposed to pretend that Bernie is going to win this thing any minute now!

and she's on track to win the state at this point.

538 has her at 58-36 against Sanders in NJ with a 99% chance of winning. That means she's on track to win 73 out of 126 NJ pledged delegates.

I saw a "really convincing" argument in GD-P about how California votes are worth more than regular votes because it's such an important state and that if Bernie wins there that all the SDS are going to beg him to save our otherwise doomed party.
