They are pledged now. They can change their mind at any time though.

doesn't matter. I can pledge who I vote for as well, but it isn't counted until it is my turn to vote.

Yeah. I've been a harsh critic of Faux News over the years, but I've rarely seen them so obviously in the tank for a candidate the way CBS/MSNBC/CNN are in the tank for Hillary. It's shocking that for once Faux News actually looks fair and balanced by comparison. :shock:

Seriously, do you think any of them, the overwhelming majority are Democratic Party insiders, are going to vote for Bernie? Seriously?

You're just saying what someone else told you...............You can't kid a kidder
 
I got this on my FaceBook page. It was posted by one of those Bernie or Bust people I think.

As you may have heard, media outlets plan to announce Hillary as the Democratic nominee before all states have finished voting on Tuesday. To be clear, this is because they have been including superdelegates in their numbers since day one. This is misleading and incorrect as superdelegates do not vote until the national convention. Neither Bernie nor Hillary can clinch this nomination with the number of delegates remaining. This is going all the way to the convention. The media is trying to break our spirits. Do not let them.
Angry about this? Good. You should be.Want to do something about it?
1. VOTE. Do not let anyone discourage you. Every single vote counts.
2. If you’re in line on Tuesday, don’t let those around you leave. ‪#‎HoldTheLine‬
3. Share this post.
4. Let your friends and family know about this, and make sure they will still vote.
5. Phonebank (https://www.berniepb.com) and Facebank (Invite friends who like Bernie Sanders to events on Facebook). What better way to stick it to the establishment than by having an absolutely YUGE turnout?
6. Don’t use mainstream media on Tuesday.
 
So for the first time in this countries history, a woman has been nominated for office by one of the major political parties. It doesn't really feel like it because of how long Hillary has been in the spotlight but that's actually kind of a big deal.

Believe it.............it is a big deal and a historic moment

Any of them? Well, since some of them have stated they will vote for Bernie my answer would be...yes?

Hillary's superdelegates switched over to Obama back in 2008. It happens. Do I think it is likely? No, I don't. Sure, something could come up with the investigation that would send Hillary's numbers crashing that might make them reconsider but it isn't likely. Certainly not impossible, though.

That said, even though I am a Bernie supporter, I wouldn't want Bernie to win with Superdelegates if he lost the popular vote. I am against Hillary winning that way and I would be against Bernie winning that way.
 
Neither of the candidates have won their nominations as of yet. As of now they are still their party's presumptive nominates.

I suspect you've never seen FoxNews so divided and nervous over their own party candidate, either.
 
It's good to see Debbie was able to lie, cheat, and steal her candidate of choice into the presumptive nomination.
 
Another spin campaign. Hillary still needs almost 600 delegates to clinch the nomination without these obnoxious Kangaroo Delegates.

Good point.

But something about it feels anticlimactic.

If she wins the general, I doubt it is going to be anything like the night I celebrated with 1M others in Grant Park 8 years ago ...

This, big time. Whilst I think it would have been great if he got the nomination, the way that some Bernie supporters have acted the last few months of this nomination period has really rubbed me the wrong way. As unfortunate as it is, Bernie lost the popular vote regardless of superdelegates (whilst some of that could be put down to disproportionate media coverage, a vote is a vote) and there is a lot of hypocrisy coming from his supporters right now. If you were a Bernie supporter and don't like Hillary, you're well within your rights to vote for a 3rd party candidate, but (as you say, barring something massive coming up) the democratic nomination process is as good as over.
 
Wow, can't wait to see the HUGE bump she gets by being the official Democrat nominee.

just kidding, she'll get a tiny bump, the FBI will come with the indictment papers, and the entire democrat party will become a dumpster fire of epic proportions.

buckle up boys.

That was one hell of a night, even if he did fall far short of our expectations in the end.
 
The socialists are going to freak. This will probably suppress Bernie voting tomorrow.

The same can be said of Trump's delegates that are unbound and were counted towards the claim that Trump had secured the nomination when his announcement was made.

Faux is giggle city...almost as good as SNL..........:lamo


Many of the viewers must be tearing apart the bathroom medicine cabinet looking for the valium..........

#6 is don't use the mainstream media for one day? Seriously?

Hell, the number of mainstream stories about her being the presumptive nominee will only grow exponentially from Wednesday onward.
