June 7th is almost here, and it will be the last super tuesday of this year for the presidential primaries.
Donald Trump has locked up his parties nomination with non-pledged delegates, ones who like in PA can vote for whoever they want.
He has already been declared the Republican Nominee, tomorrow will just keep pushing that forward.
On the Dem side Hillary Clinton will lock up the Democratic Nomination, making history as the first female to be a nominee of a major political party.
Bernie sanders vows to fight on to the convention, but it will yet to be seen if he actually does after tomorrow or the next coming days, or if he see's that overturning the will of the people through superdelegates is not a viable strategy.
This thread is to discuss the polls and the results, along with anything else related to the primaries.
California is looking to be close, Sanders believes if he wins it even by 1 vote that he has more reason to go onto the convention, despite the overwhelming math that if he wins by 1 vote, or anything under 70%, that it is virtually over for him. Hillary is still the favorite here. 475 pledged delegates at stake, it is proportional as all dem contests are.
South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana are expected to go to Sanders and in a very large way, they have a total of 59 delegates at stake.
New Jersey is expected to go to Clinton at about 60-65% similar to Maryland. It has 126 pledged delegates at stake
New Mexico polling shows Clinton has an advantage, it will be closer than polls show, but expect a 53-55% win for Clinton. It has 34 delegates at stake.
Once New Jersey polls close, the media will make a major projection, as they did in 2008 when Obama was declared the winner with super delegates included, they will project Hillary Clinton to be the presumptive Nominee for the dem party, including her almost 550 super delegates that have said they will support her in July.
The superdelegates do not vote til July, so they can switch sides, however they have never voted for someone without a majority of pledged delegates. After tomorrow Clinton will more than likely only need a couple hundred to actually secure the nomination, not all 550 that have already pledged.
Senator Warren has even said recently that "I am a superdelegate against superdelegates, and that they should not effect the outcome" (paraphrased a bit). She is basically saying that the superdelegates should not go against the will of the people and overturn the winner of the majority of pledged delegates.
President Obama is expected to make an endorsement as early as this week, to help unify the democratic party, same with Warren and Vice President Biden. Obama is looking to get out on the campaign trail and get peopled riled up for the election to focus on the general election.
