Once she clinched the nomination with supers, no one will say this is a contested convention. The media is already moving on.

Yeah, they'll get better ratings out of Trump/Hillary anyway. They have no reason to linger on Bernie.

I agree. That likely won't be until California though, right?

When does this happen? Please say in like two weeks

 

[PBY]

They agreed to one already apparently a while back.
It's happening. What anyone gets out of it is... ?

WAIT. An actual CA debate is going to happen?

Dems actually in disarray. Not that it matters, but why? How?

 

[VendettaRed07]

This is going to be a long shitty month. Its so stupid HIllary will have to probably invest in California

U mean launder money to steal away delegates in CA?

 

[Macho Madness]

They agreed to one more debate when they made the schedule in January.

 

[benjipwns]

It's listed merely as a May 2016 debate, TBD on the Democrats website.

It'd be easy to cancel. Or change to one of those interview forums.

Sadly yeah, June 7th. She'd need 83% of the delegates from the states between now and Cali to hit 50% +1, and that ain't happening.

Unless the remaining supers rally behind her due to Trump securing, but that'd just lead to more complaining from Sanders and fans.

I actually got canvassed in CA by a Hillary dem (like a week and change ago?). He wasn't doing anything more than ensuring people were registered to vote and asking them to vote down the dem ticket, but she's out here already.

Guys...

What if Trump picks Linda McMahon?

Then he doesn't need to be President to Make America Great Again

Cause he already would have.

 

[NeoXChaos]

1682
520

Total 2202

if you want her to clinch on May 17th, she needs to get about 106 more supers and 75 delegates out of WV, KY, OR and Guam.

 

[Black Republican]

whoever had Kasich on their nominee list should get a 2nd place prize here no?

Could become a Town Hall meeting.
I wonder where it'd be, I'd love to go.

Only if they play the old Wrestlemania theme at every campaign appearance.

 

[Effect]

The DNC site has it set for May 2016, location TBD

It serves no point at all now. They might as well canceled it if no location has been announced. Even then she should just back out of it. If you haven't made up your mind by now to bad. There has been enough time spent on the positions with these two.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I know, I was wishing GOP would be stupid enough to try and steal it away (which is still possible)

I mean, either way, good luck on those downtickets guys.

Democrats doing the best they can to cause issues with an election. They are pros at it.

We could still get it. From what I understand the rules can be changed right before the convention. However I don't see Priebus doing it though. He's far to weak to pull something like that.

What will be interesting to see is the Never Trump push. Does it end or do they actually work on trying to get republicans to vote Dem or some other party. I really do think there are republicans that do not want to be attached at all to Trump in any manner.

He won't. Don't think he cares.

What the DNC and Hillary can do is just shift to general election mode if they haven't already. Make sure they win California. If Obama could come out and officially endorse that might be the final nail and Sanders might get that message. As said before if this was close (and historic) like in 2008 it would be a different situation but it's not. Not at all.

Reince Priebus ‏@Reince 15h15 hours ago
.@realDonaldTrump will be presumptive @GOP nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating @HillaryClinton #NeverClinton

Even Hillary supporters don't want the next Democratic nominee to drop out!

A Democrat isn't the one causing issues.

This was taken before the GOP had decided their candidate.

Oh I understand that.

It's dead, they've capitulated to Trump. Many won't endorse Trump or campaign for him, but there's no sign of organized opposition to him from within the party anymore.

 

[bananas]

Guys, calm down about Sanders. He'll be a minor inconvenience for the next two months, at worst.

Nobody will remember him come November.

 

[RastaMentality]

PredictIt added general election swing states. Maybe they'll add a few more too later with trump on the ballot.

You don't think Trump will agree to debate him in the general?

I could see him being too afraid.

Awesome, I was hoping they'd do swing states. The straight up GE bet is too boring.

Thank you Kasich, for helping me mitigate my IN losses.

It is his actions and words that matter now if he wants to stay until Cali. Just need to say for example "well CLinton wants $12/hour min wage, but I would prefer a stronger $15/hr; however no matter what, Clinton's $12/hour position is a perfectly acceptable when we compare it to the Trump and the GOP's position of wanting no minimum wage so they can continue to line the pockets of their Billionaire friends (true or not, just say it)"

 

[RastaMentality]

Ugh y'all scared me with the "we are DEFINITELY going to a brokered convention" talk after Wisconsin so I took out all of my shares. It's crazy everyone was talking about how narrow Trump's path was when Sam wang still saw him definitely getting over 1237.

 

[Basileus777]

How long until Trump leaks something he is not supposed to?

Wang's models took into account how the delegates are actually allocated which put him ahead of everyone else. It was always funny to see everyone talking about momentum after Wisconsin and NY and Wang kept saying that nothing had changed.

When it comes to Bernie...

If there is anything I learned about college students while teaching, is that they are stubborn and whiny an won't stop until they get what they want.

With Trump as the nominee, this is the map with swing states identified, LAST poll from ev. state. Clinton v Trump

Trump is doomed.

I'm still betting he waits till after the convention. His endorsement will carry more weight with the public if there are fewer people shrieking "RIIIIIIIIGGGGGED! RIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGED!" in the background.

 

[Frank the Great]

Haha Kasich. Oh man oh jeez, wow.

He stayed in just long enough to deny a Cruz comeback, and then immediately drops after Cruz is out. Shucks, that is just crazy isn't it?
