In effect Mr. Biden has already about 1300, and needs only about 680 more, as candidates who have endorsed Mr. Biden will doubtless release their delegates to vote as they will once balloting begins.

There is no reason for Sanders to remain in the contest, no good reason anyway. Pressing his jihad against the 'Democratic Establishment' does seem the most likely reason he persists, on the record of his own utterances for years, and his actions four years ago. People who do not like hearing that need to face facts and bear up under them. If the man continues to press an attack against the 'Democratic Establishment' he is, viewed objectively, acting as a left auxiliary for Trump and the rest of the Republican crew of perverse shit-heels and moral monsters. He will get no thanks for his service to them, of course, and doubtless when his time comes would go to his grave convinced the nation's fall into Christo-fascism was deserved, as the people rejected the Truth and the Light and the Way of 'Bernie', who would have brought all good things to pass in an earthly Paradise, had only 'the people' followed their true desires and believed on him.



"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

that delegates who belong to a former candidate are free to vote for whoever they want. I read something the other day that gave me the impression some may be apportioned depending on how their states voted but I was a little confused and didn't want to make a doctor's thesis outta it.

Either way, it's pretty obvious where we're headed. More a matter of when than how or why.

Good work, George. But your math is a bit off.

Biden - 1217 Needs 774 to win. That's 46.2% of remaining 1,677 delegates remaining.
Sanders - 915 Needs 1,076 to win. That's 64.2% of remaining 1,677 delegates remaining.

Your point it correct. But it is even more stark than your numbers showed.

....slightly over the last few days, too - Bloomberg lost a few delegates, some went to Biden and some went to Sanders.

But you're right about Sanders - for some stupid reason when I was moving numbers around I used 1901 instead of 1991. I was wondering why Sanders' % went from about 64% to only 58%, that's why!
