Why Bernie Sanders Needs to Stay in the race - It Ain't Over Yet!

If a Democratic primary candidate can win 59 percent of the Party’s “pledged” (primary- and caucus-won) delegates or more, the primary is decided by pledged delegates; if a Democratic primary candidate fails to meet that threshold, they are considered by DNC electoral processes to be a weak front-runner and the nomination is finally decided, instead, by “superdelegates” — who can express support for a candidate at any time, but cannot commit themselves to anyone (i.e., cast a binding vote for any candidate) until the Democratic National Convention in July; superdelegates are unlike pledged delegates in this regard because, while pledged delegates also do not vote until the Party’s convention, they cannot change their votes from what their state’s voting results pledged them to be — though it has been argued by some that in fact they can change their votes at the Convention, with this argument most recently having been advanced by Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008.

If you choose to impose your bias on the entire party, you should at least realize that is just what it is, but don't expect people who know better to accept it for anything other than what it is -- authoritarian.

The Primary ain't over yet. I am not convinced that Hillary can beat Trump, but I am sure Bernie would clean Trumps clock with Independents, and disaffected Republicans and Democrats.

Hillary still has some policy evolution to accomplish. Like turn on the banks.
