Wonder if this will come back to bite her
The Clinton campaign is no longer airing advertisements in the Democratic presidential contest, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta, reflecting how the campaign is pivoting more and more to the general election.
Team Clinton hasn't spent a single cent in the upcoming primary states of California, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia, while Bernie Sanders' campaign has spent a little more than $1 million in those same states.
This comes as Clinton leads Sanders by 331 pledged delegates and 787 overall delegates in the Democratic presidential race. According to NBC's math, Sanders must win 81 percent of the remaining delegates (both in pledged and superdelegates) to win a majority of delegates, while Clinton needs just 19 percent.

smart move
saving money for the general election
if it weren't for the super delegates it would still be a contest, but unfortunately ... its over

yeah, he would need 85.6 percent of the remaining delegate to take the lead, I think he will do well, but not that well

yep
The Clintons have paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to cover the legal bills for a Bill Clinton aide who sits at the center of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
That’s according to Washington Times opinion editor Monica Crowley who reports in a new column that a knowledgeable source tells her that the Clintons are covering legal expenses for Justin Cooper, a longtime aide to the former president.
Such an arrangement would raise questions over whether the Clintons are paying Cooper’s bills in order to ensure that they have some oversight of his interactions with federal investigators. It would also raise questions about whether the Clintons are paying other aides’ legal costs.

Super Delegates don't work that way. None of them has cast a vote yet. Many Super Delegate roles haven't even been filled. Yet the press is reporting as though most (including unfilled roles) have already voted. Some of the figure coming from the media comes from interviews with super delegates who have said they favor Hillary. Super delegates are not pledged and can vote how they want, and some have stated they will vote for Hillary no matter what. But the reality is, they will vote in the interest of the party which means super delegates on the whole will not cast votes likely to spurn a backlash. Super delegates exist to prevent a deadlock. There are 4,051 total pledged delegates total. Note that it's an odd number. Divided by 2 it's 2,025 vs 2,026. All it takes is 1 pledged delegate to tip the scales of the super delegates. When Obama ran against Hillary reports were that she had most of the super delegates then too. Yet when the actual vote came,they would have voted Obama. No vote occurred because Hillary withdrew and endorsed Obama at the last minute after striking a deal with him.
Reporting by news media has been a travesty. Use the Internet to fact check.
We are already mathematically headed for a contested election.

"Super delegates exist to prevent a deadlock."
I think they exist so that the party gets in who they want
aren't most (all ?) super delegates long time party members with lots of power and party influence ?

* 438 elected members (with 434 votes) from the Democratic National Committee (including the chairs and vice-chairs of each state's Democratic Party)
you don't get to be chairs and vice-chairs by rocking the boat and going against the grain
super delegates follow the party agenda because they are the party leaders

it would be great if enough went for Sanders, but I think they'll be like this
"I am supporting Hillary Clinton and I will continue to do that," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat and superdelegate, said last week in her home state, whose primary Mr. Sanders won in early February.
