The Super Delegates don't cast their votes till the convention July 25 to 28.

Chris Mathews and Rachael Maddow have both come out and said they plan to call the nomination on June 7. If voter suppression and election fraud isn't a crime it should be. Can the courts prevent MSNBC from this kind of partisan bull?

I ask in all seriousness; are you only recently arrived to America? I ask only because you seem to display a rather glaring lack of awareness of what our 1st Amendment covers.

stop this kind of behavior is to quit using MSNBC or MSM for that matter for any information. I really already knew that. Thanks for the attitude adjustment.

Let's bring in the courts and suppress the First Anendment for the sake of the Revolution. Comrade Castro would be so proud.

corporate interest. If more ordinary people paid attention to what's in their best interest, Bernie would be the nominee.

Because what you're talking about sure isn't. That is standard operating procedure.

Thankfully the First Amendment will determine this hypothetical decision.

Big media rejection of this fact supplies more evidence of the continuing pro-hillary bias we've seen at MSNBC and CNN among many others but ESPECIALLY the Washington Post. Yes, I can make list but if you don't see it I would suggest checking your personal bias.

I really don't see how the courts could or should prevent this. Fortunately younger voters have developed a fairly keen bullshit detector when it comes to corporate media.

Pledged delegates are under no strict burden to vote for the candidate they were elected to cast a ballot for.
