BBC: Clinton 'wins Democratic nomination'

Can you believe this? "a burst of last-minute support from party insiders called superdelegates. "

Hillary Clinton has clinched the Democratic Party nomination for US president after reaching the required number of delegates, according to AP.

The news agency's tally puts Mrs Clinton on 2,383 - the number needed to become the presumptive nominee.

She reached the threshold with a big win in Puerto Rico and a burst of last-minute support from party insiders called superdelegates, AP said.

I just did. I told them they are committing journalistic suicide by posting that on their webpage when in fact it is wrong.

I told them it needs to be corrected now.
