How is it that Hillary Clinton can claim to be the winner of DNC nomination?
  • Super Delegates can still change their mind until the Convention.
  • Bernie Sanders hasn't conceded the race.
  • There are still more primaries
It sounds more like public relations than a real win. Is her declaration a sham?

Maybe I should start a poll about how many more of these type of polls are going to be started.

In what universe is winning by more than three million votes (without the Super Delegates) a sham? I swear, reading some of the comments on this board by those who support Donald Trump can make one doubt the sanity and intelligence of a large swath of American voters.

She's the presumed winner, do you understand what that means. Clinton best Sanders by significant margins in every way. 3 million more votes, 13% more of the popular vote, she won 12 more states, make that 13 after DC, she has hundreds more delegates, and the vast majority of superdelegates support her. The only thing that is sure, is that's it's 100% delusional to think Sanders can still win. The only primary left is DC is it not? Hillary will win that in a landslide.

Sanders had a great run and he did far better then I thought he would, but his run was always an uphill battle. He's an outsider and I'm still not sure if he's actually a Democrat or still an independent. He's was never expected to get a lot of support from mainstream Democrats. So my question is, how in the world would he win a contested convention. They could still go to a convention, but Sanders will lose that like he's lost everything else.

I had to chuckle.......yesterday Hillary was the nominee. On the Today show this morning she is once again the "presumptive" nominee.

Sure Bernie will concede losing, and Hillary is a Dem party candidate, but obviously she does not espouse Democratic/ Progressive values, most of it is lip-service.

Her actions have primarily served to further her ambition, not principles. She is not Republican-lite either.

Those who say she resembles a Bush or more mainstream Repubs is because those Repubs reflect corporate, globalist interests as well. And those Repubs who run w/ that party don't really reflect conservative values either

Haha superdelegates are staunch party faithful and major political figures.

Good luck with that.
