Bernie Sanders Declares Hillary Won’t Get Enough ‘Real Delegates’ to Win Next Week

It’s all but guaranteed that Hillary Clinton will wrap up the Democratic presidential nomination next week, but Bernie Sanders declared at a rally today that ain’t happening.

He riled up the crowd today as he declared that the media will declare “the nominating process is over” as soon as they can a week from tonight.

“The truth is,” he said, “unless I’m very very mistaken, no candidate… will have received the number of pledged delegates, i.e. the real delegates that people vote for, neither candidate will have received the requisite number of pledged delegates.”

So basically, whatever happens next week, Sanders will be taking his case all the way to the convention.
