I see that poo poo a lot at bathrooms at Disneyland (guys bringing their young daughters into the mens room to use it) and all that really happens is that they'll let them go to the front of the since there are way less stalls compared to the womans room.

The cleaning lady apparently barely spoke English and was just doing her job and following the lovely law, so my friend isn't angry with her per se, but she's loving furious at the fact that it happened. Especially because this was in Charlotte, the city that passed the nondiscrimination ordinance that prompted the legislature to pass HB2 in the first place. She's filed a complaint.
The law absolutely positively does not apply in private businesses, so no, she was just being a douche.

It is also not, nor has it ever been, the job of custodial services to enforce law. I think that's...the police, maybe?

I...think that was Oklahoma, rather than NC? Obviously the whole NC thing started it.

It's pretty frustrating that the fallout from a Charlotte ordinance to protect transpersons has made it more dangerous across the nation for said persons.*

*Not blaming the Charlotte ordinance, just noting the chain of events. The problem was the state house

So you’ve disavowed Donald Trump. But remember, 85 percent of your party’s voters are saying they plan to vote for Trump this year. If he wins, your career as a Republican is basically over — hope you like doing cable news and writing op-eds about Where the GOP Went Wrong. If he loses, party leaders will blame you for dividing the party. Either way, you've guaranteed yourself a very high-profile primary opponent for 2018.

How many superdelegates would Sanders need to flip, anyway?

AFAIK, even if they voted according to the proportional shares of the popular primary vote, Clinton'd still win. Even if they were split 50/50, Clinton'd still win. For a process that was supposed to prevent a repeat of Hubert "never ran a primary campaign" Humphrey from taking the nomination again, I could hardly fathom an outcome that is more reflective of the will of the party laypersons.

Yeah, this is why I think all the talk of "lol why did those idiots bend the knee???" was a bit misguided - the Republicans are between a rock and a hard place. All they can do is try to make Trump's nigh-inevitable failure as muffled as possible so it doesn't destroy them in the process.

That depends entirely on how he does today (well, and in DC coming up). According to numbers from 538, if Sanders wins California by 20 points, she'll be ahead by about 200 delegates at the EoD (and that's not happening).

So, giving that huge bump to Sanders -

(714 Superdelegates - 200) /2
257 versus 457 is the count he'd need to gain 200 delegates on her. Currently, she has:

CLINTON: 571
SANDERS: 48

So let's say Bernie takes all 95 remaining supers for some reason, he'd have:

143 and need 457, so he'd have to flip 314 delegates, or 43% of all delegates.

And that's if he wins California by 20 points and, for some reason, gets all their delegates.

If she slightly wins in California, that's another 80 or so he needs. The dude seriously will likely need to flip like 75% of all delegates to win the convention.

If they split delegates evenly today, he'd need almost 500 supers to flip. If every single person that votes today votes for him, just 200.

Honestly, if Bernie managed to pull like 80% in California, they superdelegates would be fully justified in flipping - it would be obvious that the desires of the party had changed radically since the start of the primary season.

However, that's not going to happen unless Hillary gets caught having sex with Trump on live TV.

No what we need to do is have all the primaries at the same time so a guy voting in California in June isn't either utterly critical or completely worthless and not punish voters who vote early in the primary cycle.

This is what drives me crazy, as I witnessed this poo poo on CNN yesterday when they were interviewing Bernie bros gathering for a Sanders rally.

The repeated them from supporters that the Clinton nomination would be overturning the 'will of the people'. If Hillary comes out ahead in the number of pledged delegates, superdelegates wouldn't be turning over poo poo, they'd be confirming what the majority (however slim) of the democratic voters wanted. Bernie flipping supers would be the exact poo poo they're protesting.
