I wasn't expecting to see this before today's call.

[Her Sister]

1. Boojah!

eom.

[Cha]

2. This is HUGE, Rose! From what I've read that Grijalva had said

about being a superd for burnie even though Hillary won Arizona!

Thank you!

[sweetloukillbot]

18. Yeah, Grijalva was adamant about supers voting according to their state...

Except for him. He wasn't going to switch, period.

[Cha]

30. And, he switched.. ya think it had anything to do with BS not being there with the Dems to

Filibuster with Sen Murphy?

[workinclasszero]

3. BOOM!

[BobbyDrake]

4. Hey, he's finally voting along with how his state voted...

It only took the hypocrite 3 months to fall in line with his own rhetoric.

[WhiteTara]

5. That's got to hurt.

I wonder if Bernie will take that as a sign that he isn't going to flip a single delegate and will concede.

[NastyRiffraff]

28. If he hasn't by now

I can't see his concession happening. Just how many supers has he flipped? If it's less than 200, it's a big fail.

[WhiteTara]

29. They keep flipping to Hillary

which makes it hard for him to get any traction on the SD flipping strategy.

[Koinos]

6. I think Bernie sank his own ship by not being present for the Senate filibuster.

Many of Sanders' other supporters in the House will move on to endorse Hillary.

It is past time.

[Cha]

8. Really.. people notice these things. Not just us.

[Koinos]

10. I'm not sure why Bernie keeps making politically foolish choices.

[jmowreader]

12. There are only nine left

Earlier this week Tulsi Gabbard was talking about unelected party apparatchiks deciding our candidate...I went through the Wikipedia page on Democratic supers, and it looks like unelected party apparatchiks (not the term she used) are the majority of Bernie's superdelegates.

[Koinos]

19. Glad you caught that.

I guess Tulsi Gabbard doesn't bother to research before she speaks.

[pandr32]

24. No surprise there!

[stopbush]

7. Yeah, but there's hundreds of Clinton super delegates

champing at the bit to switch to Sanders if he keeps going right through to the convention.

[workinclasszero]

9. Right

[stopbush]

21. Remember, you can't switch to Sanders from Hill unless you're

already supporting Hill.

Weaver's plan is going perfectly as planned!!!

[Koinos]

11. Jeff Weaver's store will be selling a whole new series of "Superdelegates" Marvel comics.

[jmowreader]

13. They'll be a new foe for the X-men

Or maybe the Avengers.

[BobbyDrake]

15. I think you mean the XX-men, with the resemblances to Democrats' strongest women being undeniable!

[jmowreader]

17. Or the XXX-men

[BlueMTexpat]

14. Wow, that's great news, Rose!

I wonder how many others will defect ... they certainly see the handwriting on the wall.

[George II]

16. BIG. That's yet another superdelegate that Sanders was able to flip.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

20. +1000 nt

[Walk away]

22. Obviously, Hillary either threatened his life, his career, his family pets or she paid him!

Otherwise, he was captured and his brain was replaced by one from a paid Clinton Operative!

[Tarheel_Dem]

23. K&R!

[eastwestdem]

25. Wonderful!! nt

[livetohike]

26. K&R

[FloridaBlues]

27. Do you think Bern will take the hint? I'm saying No not tonight
