June 7, 201610 yr I do find it odd that she is declared the winner on a day when no votes are cast. The media is so in the tank for her it is just incredible... Don't get me wrong, she should be the nominee based on the fact she has more votes, even without the Superdelegates. But to make these announcements right before six states vote??? What would have been interesting is if she had less votes than Crazy Bernie but the SD's put her ahead...now that would be fun...
June 8, 201610 yr Seems the AP was planning on this 'news' story a few days ago. Its the Gore / NBC playbook from 2000. Announce the winner per-maturely to discourage the voters of the opponent. Losing California today would be a problem.

June 8, 201610 yr She won California in 08. With a lot more votes. Christie Sparrow on Twitter: "I bet this poll had a lot to do with the decision to call democratic race for Hillary. They're scared. #VoteBernie https://t.co/lSFP7ZG1T8" The 'name the winner to discourage voters' tactic failed in 2000. But seemed to work yesterday.
June 8, 201610 yr Are democrats just voting for HRC because of the 'D' behind her name? There can't be anyone that actually believes she's the type of person you'd place any trust in, is there? She just seems so fake.
June 9, 201610 yr Bernie needs to stay in.. Clinton will not have the magic number before the convention according to The Huffington Post.. Hillary Clinton's Private Server Contained Special Access Program Intelligence. Bernie Sanders Must Continue to Campaign The media at the moment seems to be enamored with Hillary Clinton’s delegate count, even though she hasn’t achieved 2,383 pledged delegates. Since Clinton won’t have 2,383 pledged delegates before the Democratic Convention, and still faces an FBI criminal investigation, it’s only prudent that Bernie Sanders continue his campaign.
