I will be the Democratic nominee.

I will be giving all of the delegates free Donald Trump doughnuts and coffees, therefore I am sure to win.
 
Clinton will be exposed as a Goa'uld, and Sanders will amaze the world by finally revealing his secret recipe's 11 herbs and spices.
 
Soon, Trump will challenge Hillary to a dick size contest. Hillary wins that contest, but Bernie wins the democratic nomination, because nobody really wanted to know about Hillary's huge dick.

Clinton will get the nomination based on delegate count. If Sanders keeps running it is possible that she will only get it on superdelegates which may lead to calls for a change in the nomination process.

Sanders may, therefore, have a legacy in his criticism of the corruption within the party system.

It would be a hoot if, after California, Bernie had a (slim) majority of pledged delegates, while Hillary had a majority of overall delegates due to the large support from superdelegates (now ca. 470 out of 712 if memory serves).

He is behind where he needs to be to win the majority of the pledged delegates so it is more likely that the superdelegates will be irrelevant. And if he somehow does win the majority of pledged delegates, I think it is likely that the party would go along with it and lots of superdelegates would switch over to him. Same thing happened in 2008.

Though I don't think it is corruption that party leaders get a say in who the party nominates through rules clearly laid out beforehand. Something that should change maybe. But I doubt very much that Bernie or many of his supporters would have a problem with it if it goes the other way and he gets fewer pledged delegates but wins the nomination due to the superdelegates.

Anyway the most likely outcome is that the nominee will be known well before the convention and that it will be the person with the most pledged delegates, very likely Hillary Clinton. The convention will be uneventful and just make it official.

There won't be any drama or fights over who to nominate like there may be at the Republican convention (they only way they can avoid that is if Donald Trump wins the majority of the delegates, the very thing they want to prevent).
 
I'm kind of hoping for a dynamic, action-packed sword fight between Clinton and Sanders, the kind where they leap on tables, ascend grand staircases, and swing on chandeliers. Sanders will win the sword fight by disarming Clinton, but she'll escape justice by activating her shadowform and slipping into the nether, vowing revenge.
 
Problem is that Bernie needs a series not just of wins but of blowouts;that is not going to happen since there are not big,delegate rich "winner take all" states in the Democratic primaries the way their are in the Republican primaries.
 
Rumor has it that Joe Biden will make his entrance, descending from the rafters, upside down, on a slowly revolving trapeze to the strains of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You, Babe."

There may also be balloons.
 
Obama will announce that he is cancelling the election and declare himself President for life.

Tbh, I would almost prefer that over a Republican becoming President in that period. And I definitely wish that the Constitution didn't prevent him from running again. He's a good President and would absolutely destroy Trump.
