Here are the pertinent numbers:<br /> Hillary has 1716 pledged delegates<br /> Bernie has 1438 pledged delegates<br /> 897 pledged delegates still up for grabs<br /> 2383 total delegates needed to win the nomination<br />Looking at these numbers it is statistically impossible for Hillary to win the nomination with pledged delegates alone, thus the Hillary camp's wishful thinking for Bernie to drop out now. If she goes to convention she may not get the super delegate support she thinks she will. If the supers start looking closely at who has the best chance to beat Drumpf, we could see a different outcome altogether. Stay tuned Sandernistas!<br />Let's be clear about this right now....BERNIE DOES NOT NEED TO WIN THE NOMINATION BEFORE THE CONVENTION....HE JUST NEEDS TO MAKE SURE HILLARY DOES NOT HAVE THE NOMINATION IN HAND WITH PLEDGED DELEGATES. Once the convention starts, all bets are off<br /> </i>Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-85229741811231965022016-05-11T08:42:14.671-05:002016-05-11T08:42:14.671-05:00Hillary is feeling The Bern...LOL!

I liked Biden back in the 2008 race. He's establishment, but only mildly, I believe that he has some of Bernie's good points also. - honesty, integrity, down to earth.<br /><br />I've just been looking at today's chart at Current Astro Weather website:<br /><br />http://alabe.com/cgi-bin/chart/astrobot.cgi?param=yvr&input5=brewster,ma<br /><br />It's a rather nicely patterned chart at first sight : string of sextiles, Grand Trine, mystic rectangle.<br /><br />Trump is definitely up for a "Legend in His Own Lunchtime" award! I've seen it said online that he's probably in league with Hillary Clinton to shunt moderate Republicans her way. A dastardly plan hatched between Hillary, Bill and Donald. Nothing would surprise me!<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7034319105573461392016-05-10T12:36:43.492-05:002016-05-10T12:36:43.492-05:00Good Colbert-Bernie video...LOL! In the "A C...Good Colbert-Bernie video...LOL! In the "A Contested Convention..." link, I enjoyed Biden's subtle inferred support of Bernie's protracted campaigning. There's much to be gained by Bernie's efforts, but I'm sure the DNC chair, Debbie W-S, has contrived an evil plan to thwart his traction. The current Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square will reward the humble, ethical, and truthful...that puts Hillary and Debbie out in the cold. There are some excellent aspects involving Jupiter currently, plus Jupiter just turned stationary-direct very close to Bernie's Sun. Transiting, stationary-retrograde Saturn is squaring his Sun.<br /><br />I'm loving the Republican crash-and-burn. I have to hand it to Trump for that major accomplishment. I hope for the same in the Democratic party via Bernie.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-46517161287522559232016-05-10T10:57:00.674-05:002016-05-10T10:57:00.674-05:00mike ~ Thanks for the links. :-/

I'm glad that The Bern is forging onward, leading to a contested DNC convention, assuming Hillary doesn't acquire her necessary standard-delegates, but it's not really "contested" by the DNC rules. Still, lots can happen between now and then, as we keep witnessing.<br /><br />"Atlanta Mayor’s Column Ripping Bernie Sanders Drafted by Lobbyist, Emails Show"<br />https://theintercept.com/2016/05/06/hillary-super-pac-draft-oped/<br /><br />"TV Pundits Praise Hillary Clinton On Air, Fail to Disclose Financial Ties to Her Campaign"<br />https://theintercept.com/2016/02/25/tv-pundits-praise-hillary-clinton-on-air-fail-to-disclose-financial-ties-to-her-campaign/<br /><br />"A Contested Convention Is Exactly What the Democratic Party Needs"<br />http://billmoyers.com/story/a-contested-convention-is-exactly-what-the-democratic-party-needs/<br /><br />Here's to Bernie winning the most delegates possible and taking his platform to the DNC convention!
