MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has revealed that the major television networks plan to call the Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton during the day on June 7th — hours prior to the close of polls in California — on the grounds that Clinton has “clinched” the nomination as soon as she crosses the 2,383-delegate threshold via both pledged delegates (who are already committed to her) and super-delegates (who cannot, by Democratic Party rules, commit themselves to her or be tallied until July 25th).
In other words, as recently indicated by Mark Murray, NBC’s Senior Editor for Politics, the networks will make the news on June 7th rather than report it — as, per the Democratic National Committee, the final and indeed only authority on the tabulation of super-delegates, Clinton cannot clinch the nomination on June 7th unless she wins 78.3 percent of the pledged delegates on that date.
Which she won’t.
No more than Sanders will get 70 percent of the pledged delegates on June 7th.
Which is why many of us in the media had thought this Democratic primary would go to the super-delegate vote to be held in Philadelphia on July 25th — nearly every super-delegate interviewed by the media thus far having made crystal clear that they are not bound to vote for either the popular-vote or pledged-delegate leader, but rather the individual the weight of the evidence suggests is the most likely to defeat Donald Trump in November, which at present is Bernie Sanders, not Hillary Clinton.
But that was pretty silly, in retrospect....

Translation: Journalists believe that Trump benefited, in terms of his standing relative to the democrats, from being declared the nominee. Since their primary job is to advocate for big government, not to report, they will do whatever it takes to cancel that republican edge.
Tingles will need new underwear on that day.
They better announce it in the morning before Bernie supporters wake-up.
Counting our Blue Chicks before they break out of their little shells, are we?
Many Dems say it’s Bernie who really rules the roost,
not the tattered Blue Hen.
Feel the bern Sanders supporters.

Bernie’s not going to like that. They are all in the tank for Hillary and want to free her so she can fend off Trump. It’s a psy op. Act positive like it’s a done deal and fool the people into thinking the way is clear to sweep her and the disgusting excuse for a husband she rode in on [into the dustbin of history]. And they think Trump supporters are all kinds of derogatory words.
It looks bad for Her Heinous and her inevitability to have Trump declared to have clinched the nomination if Hillary hasn’t so the media is fudging the numbers and pretending she’s clinched before she’s clinched.
This is the reason Trump backed out of the Bernie debate.
Bernie supporters get skinned alive June 7, and run to Trump.
Trump wins.
Hillary Clinton’s fingers are clinched around a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Just try to pry her fingers from the bottle when she’s on a bender.
That’s what she has clinched.
Bernie supporters get skinned alive June 7, and run to Trump.
***************
Had Trump pulverized and embarrassed Bernie at the debate, which he likely would have, his supporters may have had reason NOT to vote for Trump. It was good that Trump backed out. Too many risks to make it worthwhile.
Trump I think got wind of this ploy. Will be very funny if Bernie wins the remaining primaries, and they declare her the winner.
You would have to be a very brain dead communist to vote Trump over Hillary debate or no debate.
Bernie supporters wake up around 3pm
Maybe a twofer? Clinch a nomination and an indictment on the same day?
Trump should bang on that drum a while to show how outdated, out of touch, clueless, helpless, useless and ILLITERATE she is. Totally unprepared for the modern world.
Sad commentary on the current state of the democrat party to nominate a felon.
