This sort of compression is called adiabatic. [Incidentally, this use of the term âadiabaticâ has nothing to do with an adiabatic process in quantum mechanics and, in fact, the meaning is almost the opposite.
The DNC's rules for next year's convention initially called for a total of 4,483 delegates, with a majority â 2,242 â needed to win the presidential nomination. If Clinton has more than 440 pledges, she is about 20 per cent of the way to victory.ATBIRD SEAT: Clinton may have as many as 440 'superdelegates' already committed to nominating her for the presidency â about one-fifth of what she will need â before a single vote is cast.
Hillary received 19 delegates while Bernie only received 15, but Bernie received just less than 5% fewer votes than Hillary. Wouldn't it make sense if Hillary received 18 and Bernie 17? (There should be 35 delegates in Nevada so one wasn't placed yet I think)
