Finally if Hillary were to get the nod, she HAS to win the delegate count. She can't get by on just the popular vote. Why? Because you can't let black voters and young voters feel like the nomination was stolen from them. Especially among black voters, this would confirm their suspicion that the party does not work for them. NO democrat has ever won the presidency without carrying the black vote since the civil rights movement.
Hillary's supporters already believe the nomination was stolen with the Michigan/Florida shenanigans. No Democrat will ever win without women voters.

Actually, you wouldn't be too far off to say that no Democrat has won since the Civil Rights Act was passed by LBJ. Only Carter, who was run out of town on the rails and Bill Clinton, the only Democrat elected to two terms since FDR. So, it's fair to ask, "how's that black vote thing working out for the Dems?"
