Instead on whining about the rules of the game, it would be nice if Dems could give this woman what every Dem candidate for president since Carter has gotten. Some [f]ucking Respect. This is a great accomplishment by Hillary and I look forward to voting in affirmation tomorrow in CA.
Absolutely!!
Congratulations, soon to be Madam President.
Here we go!
Hey Bernie.
I just want to quote this before Sanders supporters start talking about 2008 and why he should fight on. I wonder if people will acknowledge the history of this moment as much as in 2008.
"Indeed, Clinton’s victory is broadly decisive. She leads Sanders by more than 3 million cast votes, by 291 pledged delegates and by 523 superdelegates. She won 29 caucuses and primaries to his 21 victories.
That’s a far bigger margin than Obama had in 2008, when he led Clinton by 131 pledged delegates and 105 superdelegates at the point he clinched the nomination."
This is great, but I can’t wait until Wednesday morning.
Me too!
Let the caterwauling begin. The irony of course is the Clinton campaign is actually not pleased AP made this claim and ran this article.
Hopefully it’s late enough in the day, even in west coast, to not get much play…
Not the way we expected but we have our first female candidate for President. So proud to be a part of this historic moment. On to winning the general.
¨Striding into history¨ indeed.
They must really be worried about a California loss with this sort of journalistic fluffery.
Okay, but who is going to break the news to Bernie?
Look at the upside, this will soften the blow of Bernie losing NJ and CA tomorrow, because he lost the nomination the day before…
I agree. Hillary would have been much happier if this had come after the primaries.
This only means another day of teeth gnashing against the undemocratic superdelegates (who must simultaneously go against the vote of the people to undemocratically nominate Sanders if they want to redeem themselves).
Bada-bing … Bada-boom ! —
Why should a California loss be worrying? What actual impact would that have?
I don’t think so. Absentee ballot poll with 13,000 respondents has her up by 12 points.
None.
From 21,000 questionnaires returned from early voters in CA, HRC had a 12 point advantage over Sanders. I suspect it will be a bit closer than that on the final tally, but (most likely) HRC will prevail.
