re: #434 NO SMOCKING GUN!

…The “rigged election” was a part of it too, which is a big reason the Democrats shouldn’t actually rig the convention to deny Bernie the nomination if he has a big lead in delegates.

June, 2016—

Hillary Clinton is on track to win a majority of the pledged delegates, almost certainly by June 7…the irony is that without the superdelegate system in place, Sanders likely would be toast on June 7…So, even without the superdelegates, Clinton would have won the Democratic nomination fair and square…

Sanders claims it would be “factually incorrect” for the media to declare Clinton the presumptive nominee once she crosses the 2,383 threshold. But he is ignoring the fact that Clinton will also win a majority of the pledged delegates.
