[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I know you have consistently stated that you prefer Clinton to me, but here me out: Why don't you vote against your own stated interest in order to disenfranchise all the voters who agree with you?" Brilliant.[/quote]
Well when you consider HRC only has about 4% more pledged delegates than Sanders, the Sanders camp would only need to persuade 4.1% of the superdelegates to vote against their constituents. Not unheard of when you consider they routinely do this on other issues that go against the majority.[/quote]

There are a lot of things wrong with this math, but let me just point out one glaring one: There are not as many superdelegates as there are pledged delegates. 4% of a large number is bigger than 4.1% of a small number.[/quote]

Yea, that's some funny math right there. Bernie would have to get at least 75% of superdelegates to win.[/quote]

Here is the thing about super delegates: They are Democratic elected officials and party leaders who all know Hillary Clinton and many of them know Bernie Sanders. They didn't make their endorsements based on Facebook likes or Twitter followers. [/quote]
