Discussion: Hillary Clinton Nabs Enough Delegates To Be Presumptive Dem Nominee

Clinton campaign came out and said they expect a narrow victory in CA. All things considered that probably means their internal pulling shows a pretty good margin. So this is them down playing expectations. They probably really think they will win with a good margin.

No. They can simply count and do basic math.

He hasn´t ¨lost the nomination¨ until the convention. He will, no doubt, but it´s really bullshit to poll all the super delegates the night before the final vote of the primaries.

Semantic hand-waving. Clinton is the presumptive nominee.

I’m truly disgusted at how these people are dismissing this amazing, historic moment. After 240 years of fighting for women’s rights, we’ve finally arrived at the first step to the a woman reaching the highest level of power in history. And listening to Sanders and his crowd dismiss it is just disgusting. I hope women and minority voters go to vote in huge numbers tomorrow to let the Sanders campaign know what they think of his disrespect.

Great. Now let’s all come together and crush the ever-loving shit out of Donald Trump.

Yes, if you count the super delegates as a done deal.

Well actually he has, because tomorrow will probably add even more gap between the two, and if you read the report from AP the superdelegates have stated they will not be changing their position.

So what is the magical thing that will happen?

[Those are party officials and officeholders, many of them eager to wrap up the primary amid preference polls showing her in a tightening race with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.]

The name all Democrats should be concerned about is Trump. As an opponent…not as an incentive to vote for Bernie in 2020.

Yep. And even if you don’t it will be a done deal on the pledged delegates no matter how CA turns out. Because… math.

BTW, show me any math that gets Sanders the nomination without…wait for it… “superdelegates”.

This is not 2008. Sanders lost by 3,000,000 popular votes (thus far) and would have had to win CA by 85.01% to edge Clinton on pledged delegates. That was never going to happen.

Same flaccid and dishonest dissembling over the AUMF vote you have trotted out in nearly every thread when you have nothing substantive to say and your ass is handed to you on the facts and you are in desperate need to say something negative about Clinton.

I can’t help thinking about my mom and how hard she worked when I was a kid. History was made in '08 and again tonight. It’s too bad the AP spoiled the party but people should appreciate how important this is.

Well I think Obama called him today. So maybe he knows.

that’s fine but the superdelegates should just have saved us some Sanders complaining & came out for her after the primaries were over … she was going to go over the top tomorrow with the past bunch of superdelegates pledged to her since she was only around 30 away.

First time in history a woman is the nominee of a major party for the President of the United States. I refuse to let the sour grapes of some impact the wonder and pride of that accomplishment. Go Hillary. Go Dems.

The SDs have never voted against popular votes. They won’t start now. There will not be a coup d’état at this convention.

And at this historic moment, I’d like to remind women across the United States that we have only had the right to vote for less than 100 years.

And vote we will!
