Lifted by a big win in Puerto Rico and a burst of late support from Democratic superdelegates, Hillary Clinton has commitments from the number of delegates needed to become the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for president.
She reached the required 2,383 delegates on Monday, according to an Associated Press count.
Here's a look at the count and how the AP determined Clinton has enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee, besting her primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
WHAT'S THE COUNT
In the primary elections and caucuses, Clinton has won 1,812 pledged delegates. Sanders has won 1,521. That gives her a lead of 291.
That is far more than the 131-delegate lead that then-Sen. Barack Obama held over Clinton when he clinched the Democratic nomination on June 4, 2008.

Dam, at first glance, I thought the headline was "Hillary Locked Up".
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Me too!
Delete12:33, that's what I thought, was gonna start screaming for joy!
ReplyDeleteWith Obama endorsing her we now know that the FBI will NOT indict her. That will prove that elected officials can do ANYTHING and not be held accountable. They are shoving it in your face and Hillary supporters just can't or refuse to see it. There are two classes in the U.S., them and us. The lobotomized libs have outnumbered the people that care about the future of our country . Anyone who votes for Hillary is an IDIOT
ReplyDeleteThankfully the Superdelegates made the right decision and we can have communism in this fine country. Everyone will be very unhappy once they realize how communism works.
ReplyDeleteThey are full of $&-%. We have had the superdelegate numbers since the beginning. They are not actually counted officially until July 25. This is the equivalent of the press announcing that she won California yesterday based on polls.
ReplyDeleteRead about how the government has improperly used the espionage act to silence dissenters. Hillary DIRECTLY violated that act. She ought to walk right up to Bernie Sanders and shoot him in the head because obviously she not only wouldn't get charged but her retarded supporters would still vote for her.
Hillary locked up this nomination 3 years ago. Like most things democrat, it was fixed.
ReplyDeleteGood now Trump can tear her apart.
ReplyDeletenow the Clinton foundation can pay for the facelift shes been dreaming of
ReplyDeleteI want, "FBI Locks Up Hillary".
ReplyDeleteMucho bettero.
