Dem adviser: Clinton may not be the nominee

The Washington Examiner reports:

A former political adviser to President Bill Clinton says there is "more than a theoretical chance" that Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee for president.

Douglas Schoen wrote in the Wall Street Journal late Tuesday that a Bernie Sanders win in California next week would remove the "inevitability" of Clinton's campaign. That could force Democrats to realize that Clinton might be the weaker candidate in a general election.

"A Sanders win in California would powerfully underscore Mrs. Clinton's weakness as a candidate in the general election," he said. "Democratic super delegates — chosen by the party establishment and overwhelmingly backing Mrs. Clinton, 543-44 — would seriously question whether they should continue to stand behind her candidacy."

Schoen said Sanders is also likely to use the Democratic convention to push for a rule that would force super delegates to vote for the candidate that won their respective states.
