The DNC rules are, whoever gets to 2025 wins.
PERIOD.
By the time all the voting is done, if Obama doesn't have 2025 then he hasn't WON.
Hillary cannot steal it if Obama hasn't WON it.
If neither candidate has 2025, then the super delegates cast their vote, for whomever THEY want.
That is the rules.
No one is stealing anything from anyone.
They are simply following the DEMOCRATIC rules.
Why is this so hard for anyone to understand?
Over and over again, I read on here that most feel Hillary should quit the race.
I strongly disagree and I will tell you why.
At the end of the third quarter, one team is ahead in points.
So by golly, if it's your team who is ahead, I guess the other team should just quit then eh?
NO.
Neither candidate is going to win without the superdelegates.
And the democratic rules say that the supers can vote for whomever they want.
Michigan and Florida may re-vote.
And if they do, it is possible that Hillary would lead the popular vote and Obama would lead the delegate vote.
Right now the votes are as follows:
.......................................................Obama.............Clinton
Popular Vote ........................12,992,769........... 12,406,988
Popular Vote (w/FL)............. 13,568,983........... 13,277,974
Popular Vote (w/FL & MI)* .. 13,575,302........... 13,609,945

Obama is leading by 600,000 votes.
With Florida, that lead dwindles to less than 300,000 votes.
With Florida and Michigan, Hillary has the most popular votes.
At the very least, I believe there will be a re-vote in Florida and Michigan.
Or those delegates, or a portion of them, will be seated at the convention.
Not likely, but certainly a possibility.
Nonetheless, if you count the TOTAL VOTES CAST, Senator Clinton is the leader.
And last time I checked, most progressive Democrats believed that EVERY VOTE SHOULD COUNT.
It isn't the fault of the voters in Florida and Michigan that their party leaders jumped the gun.
So why should those voters be punished by not being counted?
That is the case she will make to the superdelegates and that is the reason she will remain in the race.
