Apparently the Democratic candidate race is still ongoing?

I was baffled to find that out that the race is still ongoing, and I apologize for my naivete, but the narrative of various articles had me thinking that the deed is done, that it's final with Clinton as a winner. Just now I found out that Clinton has 1716 pledged delegates and Sanders has 1433. He was just at North Dakota doing a speech on fracking.
Apparently there's room for a turnover because at June 7th the states that vote are the Dakotas, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and the big one, California.

 

If you look at the polls you will find Bernie would do better against Trump than Clinton.

This realization by the people came too late for it to affect the Democratic race. Bernie was off to a slow start and won't be able to catch up.

 

The Democratic race is definitely not over but I am concerned about it. First off, I think both candidates are very qualified and despite the bad press and the like on each of them, Ultimately, I think Hillary will win the nomination because of her name recognition alone. Plus, she is associated with a few states that will help her win, too. I'm just hoping that if that's the case, Sanders won't run as an independent because all it will do is pull from Hillary's voters and put a Republican (likely Trump) in office.

 

Clinton already acts as though she's the Democratic nominee. She's been attacking Trump for a while because . . .

So though Sanders isn't giving up, it's obvious that he isn't getting the nomination unless Clinton gets indicted before she wins.

 

I agree. Also during the campaign most pundits say that Bernie keeps HRC more to the left than she wants. I would think he would be less effective at the convention when the campaign is over.

 

Should Sanders get big wins in California and New Jersey there's a remote possibility that some super delegates may want to switch sides and back Sanders. Quite a long shot but that's what's Sanders is hoping for.

 

Oh, they can switch? I didn't know that. That changes everything, because it can go the other way around too...

 

It seems the problem now is that Sanders is going to the convention to stir things up and continue to try to take HRC down. Both conventions will be "interesting".

 

It certainly is. What will be interesting to see is how many of the GOP will become toadies to their imposing new leader, and how many will grit their teeth and bear it. I believe that Trump's new "popularity" with the GOP establishment is driven by fear of being left in the cold. That is how Fascism is born.

 

Now, that's something I'd like to see. Are these conventions going to be streamed online? Does anyone know?

Crickey, this guy will either sink or swim, it seems. There's no in-between.
