Without Michigan and Florida there is no way

Another handful of super delegates have gone to Barack Obama over the last few days. Hillary Clinton has manged to squeeze out a few more as well, but not as many as Obama which means she has fallen further behind.

It is almost mathematically impossible to get to 2,026. Even with the super delegates. She needs the DNC rules committee to rule in her favor on the 31st when it comes to Michigan and Florida or it is game over a week from today.

Let’s say the last 3 contents go down like this…

Clinton wins Puerto Rico 62% to 28%

Obama wins South Dakota 56% to 44%

Obama wins Montana 52% to 48%

This results seem reasonable given the latest polls. If that happens Hillary Clinton will need….100% of the remaining 199 super delegates to get to 2,026. There literally is no room for error left and with her RFK comment alienating even some of her staunches supporters it really is over.

The arguments that are being made at this stage in the campaign regarding the seating of Florida and Michigan delegates are essentially self-serving and dishonest. This issue has nothing to do with counting votes, or any of the other arguments Hillary and her supporters have brought forward. It is time she and her supporters understand that Hillary lost because of Hillary. This was a self-inflicted defeat. If these people are going through some sort of grieving process, then perhaps they should seek therapy.

For Billary to suggest that it is appropriate to talk about who has won more Electoral College votes, when the General Election has not been held yet, is patently absurd. The only votes Hillary won are votes cast in the Democratic Party primaries. Just as absurd and moreover irresponsible is the broader suggestion that there is some sort of conspiracy afloat. But, we must remember this all comes from the same guy who was ready to argue about the definition of the word “is.”
