SANDERS SAYS CLINTON FACES 'CONTESTED' CONVENTION
Bernie Sanders said today he will consider the Democratic Party's convention "contested," unless his opponent Hillary Clinton gets enough pledged delegates to win nomination without super delegates. The Vermont senator essentially vowed to fight to win over those coveted party elites -- the super delegates -- until they formally vote in July. "She will need super delegates to take her over the top of the convention in Philadelphia. In other words, the convention will be a contested contest," he said during a press conference in Washington, D.C. Sanders' top brass has been arguing this point for weeks, but this was the most direct statement the senator has made about his outlook on the remaining portion of the nominating process.
