7. Neither candidate will have enough pledged delegates to clinch the nomination before the Convention

So, we'll all be at the convention together, and we'll see what happens.

Bernie has earned enough delegates to justify staying in. Clinton hasn't earned enough pledged delegates to win it.

Those are facts.

He's not going to drop out. And we're going to keep donating because we want him in all the way to the convention.
