I guess that's why the MSM is telling everyone to move along....
As if, remaining states need not bother to vote.

I actually voted last week, because we have a truly wonderful early voting system.

I voted for Bernie.

I almost never see a Hillary bumper sticker, but see a reasonable number of Bernie ones. Yesterday I saw my first Trump sticker, but it was in Arizona, no surprise. I was there for a high school reunion.

I picked that name after the Bush Election Theft. I was one PISSED OFF voter after that obscenity.

Fast forward to 2016 and I am STILL one PISSED OFF California voter.

I will not forget this night. Ever.

In 2001 I went to Washington, DC in outrage over the Supreme Court installed George W. Bush as President of USA. Let me share what I heard the day before the November 2000 election. Newt Gingrich Chief of Staff Matt Talway went on the Bill Mazer show. He told Bill it doesn't matter how the election does, Al Gore will never be President. Whether Al wins the Popular Vote or the Electoral Vote, they intend to take the White House by a military coup d'etat if necessary. Not one Democrat supported Al Gore. The Clinton's turned their back on him. He further shared the Bush family was on a phone bridge with Constitutional attorneys from around the country. The lead attorney who took this case to the Supremes is now Chief of Staff, John Roberts. The Clinton's are adopted family to the Bush family. I smelled Carl Rove all over this election. From Day One in Iowa there was massive election fraud. The South that she Brags about will go 100% Republican in the,General Election. She also reports 3 million extra votes. Really. So many people from around the country were reporting election fraud and voter suppression. As a hard core Democrat she will never get my vote. My family is voting kn the Green Party line. Enough is enough.

pick it up, it will be the end of HRC.

You think the media are not capable of trying to swing the vote? But another poster said it better than me. The 20+ supers who came out and declared themselves for Hillary are the real stunt...pulling this the night before a huge state gets to vote.

Yeah, it's a stunt...and it may well be a coordinated stunt. Just the kind of thing that Brock would set up.

Yeah, I know the media did it, not the Hill campaign...but that doesn't mean it wasn't coordinated.

I know that Hill expressed dismay, but she's done a lot of things in the past she never really meant, so I don't trust anything she says.

I think it's a Dem party stunt and everyone is in on it.

You know how much you're sounding like a conspiracy nut right now? Just stop and take a deep breath for a second man. Read what you just typed.

Someone has to go last in the primary season, and sometimes it is wrapped up before it gets there.

Go and vote. Vote for Bernie. Vote for Hillary. Go and vote. The only person that's stopping someone is themselves. Vote. Maybe Bernie can swing a huge comeback. He needs to win big in every race. Unlikely he can, but anything is possible. Make it happen.

Here in CA Hillary's going to be getting another vote tomorrow, as well as a variety of candidates in other races (like soon-to-be US Senator Kamala Harris). It's not a sports game where the result isn't final until the clock runs out, when one side gets to a total first the contest is effectively over even if the voting isn't.

C'mon, I'm not even American and I could have told you how this works 30 years ago before I even moved to this country,

https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/739990215733981188

They think reaching 2383 delegates is an important milestone but they say seven more states are going to the polls. She hopes to clinch the nomination on Tuesday night after voters in those states cast their votes.

I'll be on the Obama Diary following all the action and ordering my woman card and HRC mug
