Sanders on Saturday vowed to continue his fight for the Convention

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday vowed to continue his fight for the Democratic nomination beyond the primary season, telling reporters at a news conference in Los Angeles that he plans to go after Hillary Clinton’s superdelegates.

Clinton currently has 2,313 total delegates — 1,769 of which are pledged and 544 of which are superdelegates — and she is expected to cross the 2,383-delgate threshold in the next few days to clinch the nomination. But Sanders, who has 1,501 pledged delegates and only 46 superdelegates, says he can still woo enough of her superdelegates between now and the Democratic convention in July to swing the nomination his way.

It’s a tall order. Pledged delegates emerge from primaries and caucuses, while superdelegates are party leaders — elected officials and former ones who have individually committed to a candidate. It would be unprecedented for the number of superdelegates Sanders needs to switch allegiances, and, like Clinton this year, then-Sen. Barack Obama entered the 2008 convention without a majority of pledged delegates.

Bernie, the no 1 supporter of Trump. He simply doesnt know how to loose. Can we imagine if Hillary would have done the same with Obama? The difference was closer, she had more votes, but she knew how to loose with dignity, which is clearly that Bernie doesnt know.

The worst part is that he's sensationalizing the election much like Trump by making statements like "California loves a comeback" and "I predict it will be contested".

No it won't be contested. He'll lose at the first ballot count.

Super-delegates won't overturn the will of the people unless the difference between pledged delegates is really close or the candidate is not qualified like Trump.

Hillary has an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates and all the unbound delegates have faith in her skills. 

There is literally no merit, and Sanders is dragging his supporters on his ego trip. I actually feel sorry for them at this point, especially since the media is all too happy to keep this convention looking like a horse race for ratings.

And this is exactly why I'm going to stop posting Sanders articles now. He's no longer worth it.
