BYE BYE BERNIE? CLINTON SET TO WIN NOMINATION AS SUPERDELEGATES TO BE COUNTED ON TUESDAY
"A Democratic Party official has changed his tune on whether superdelegate support should be counted on election night much to the chagrin of Bernie Sanders, who doesnt want Tuesday night to turn into an anointment of Hillary Clinton .
In April, DNC Communication Director Luis Miranda said, the superdelegates should not be included in any count on a primary or caucus night , a quote Sanders repeated yesterday to stall Clinton from claiming the nomination.
But today Miranda appeared on Fox News and said, the point I was making at that time is you have to count them separately, he stated, that could wrongly have the effect that the delegate totals arent matching the percentage of the vote totals in the state.
Counting how superdelegates plan to vote at the convention, however, looked to be fine which means Clinton could be called the Democrats presumptive nominee after Tuesdays set of primaries..."

He and jane just use their damn buzzwords to get their fams all upset when he keeps losing.
So this is all going ahead no matter how much sanders whines?
As far as I can tell there's nothing to contest. He lost.. what part doesn't he get?

(30,058 posts)Counting them separately will mean the presumptive Democratic nominee will need 2026 pledged delegates and Hillary will be over this number of PD on Tuesday, reality, no matter how it is played.

(31,170 posts)reporting primary and caucus results because it confused people. So if a state had 10 delegates don't show 15 won by lumping the 5 supers into the total for that primary.
He never intended to say that the supers didn't count for securing the nomination. So it will work the same as it always does.

(1,580 posts)Fox was lumping them together because they wanted to hide the fact that HILL was actually way far ahead in pledged delegates. They wanted to continue the narrative that it was rigged by the SD's, but she is far ahead in pledged delegates 55%. MJ from MSNBC tried it too. It looks like now they are pushing the narrative that it's rigged because she started out with Super delegate support.
