1. After February it was pretty clear that her only hope was SDs.

2. Superdelegates have to go.
I think they do way more damage than good.

3. I see pros and cons. A potential pro is that when they see that the process is being dragged out..
they can say "enough, wrap it up". Of course the whole FL MI thing was kind of used to keep them from coming in this time.

4. There was 3409 pledged delegates ...
So you would have needed 1705 to clinch the nomination ...

IN/NC would have been the day that the "math" started to matter.

5. So you voted for option #1, right? If not what and why.

6. Nah - 3
She would have been mathmatically "eliminated" until May and I think most people knew that it was going to go to the end anyway.

7. Your vote makes no sense as she was mathematically eliminated in June

8. Michigan/Florida
I picked three because she would have been mathmatically "eliminated" at about the same time.
