Journalistic Malpractice – How Hillary Clinton “Clinched” the Nomination on a Day Nobody Voted
Liberty Blitzkrieg ^ | 07 June 2016 | Michael Krieger

Posted on 06/08/2016 7:37:59 AM PDT by Lorianne

Last night, Associated Press – on a day when nobody voted – surprised everyone by abruptly declaring the Democratic Party primary over and Hillary Clinton the victor.

The decree, issued the night before the California primary in which polls show Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a very close race, was based on the media organization’s survey of “superdelegates”: the Democratic Party’s 720 insiders, corporate donors and officials whose votes for the presidential nominee count the same as the actually elected delegates. AP claims that superdelegates who had not previously announced their intentions privately told AP reporters that they intend to vote for Clinton, bringing her over the threshold. AP is concealing the identity of the decisive superdelegates who said this.

This is the perfect symbolic ending to the Democratic Party primary: The nomination is consecrated by a media organization, on a day when nobody voted, based on secret discussions with anonymous establishment insiders and donors whose identities the media organization – incredibly – conceals. The decisive edifice of superdelegates is itself anti-democratic and inherently corrupt: designed to prevent actual voters from making choices that the party establishment dislikes. But for a party run by insiders and funded by corporate interests, it’s only fitting that their nomination process ends with such an ignominious, awkward and undemocratic sputter.

The media is as big an enemy to this country as Hillary and the present administration.

Another “coin flip” Clinton won before the coin was tossed into the air. Kind of like the “super” delegates thing. The fix is in. The poor socialist guy didn’t stand a chance. The Marxists win every time.

An actual case of "selected, not elected".

Like Lyn’ Ted in Iowa, Clinton schemed with AP to throw the election. Likely worked as the results was so incredibly different than the polls. Who knows what else they cooked up to throw the election.

If Hillary is to win this is the only way she will be able to do it, lies, deception and MSM running interference for her.

Did the same for Al Gore when he ran against W:

Florida has TWO time-zones; South Florida is SUPER liberal and in one zone, the North of Florida is conservative and in a different time zone.

After the bulk of liberal south Florida had voted, the liberal media was SCREAMING THEIR LUNGS OUT about how IT IS ALLLLL OVER..!!! Prez Gore! Prez Gore! Prez Gore..!!!

And Northern Florida hadn’t voted.

We know how THAT turned out.

Donald can get millions of (very) unhappy D votes!

1. if he reaches out on the basis of HONEST GOVERNMENT and FIXING What’s Broken, he will win (this would be sort of like Ronald Reagan)

2. if he reaches out on the basis of socialist schemes, he will lose his base ... and thus lose the election (sort of like several GOP-e candidates have done)

it all depends on how Donald does it!

At 5pm on November the 6th, the Press in an unbelievable act of coordination all went with the AP story. It was a sight of beautiful propaganda....Bernie’s supporters now know what its like at the other end of the Media Complexes treachery.

And why not? It worked for Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Well.. it wasn't an "unbelievable act of coordination". News outlets are under contract to read the AP scripts that are sent to them verbatim.

It's pretty clear what happened here. The media, who are in the satchel for Crooked Hillary, felt that Bernie was keeping things too close for comfort in the final primary contests. So they decided to ordain her the "winner" the day before the final primaries so that the Bernie voters would be discouraged from voting the next day.

Well, the plan worked to perfection. Crooked Hillary had her "big night" and got to crow about re-gaining her momentum for the general election. "Comeback Kid II"!

If I was a Bernie supporter, I would be pissed.

I think Trump has an opportunity to lure quite a few of them over to him in November.

Yes it was timed perfectly to dissuade Sanders voters from turning up at the polls.

I do not think of Hillary in gender terms as historically the first woman nominated as a presidential candidate. But I do think of her in maritime terms as the country’s first vampire squid presidential candidate.Now all she has to do is nominate Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman as her VP running mate for the the Vampire Squid Party’s first presidential ticket

Let the media declare all winners the day before election day...then no one will have to bother voting the next day.

Voila! All voting problems and issues forever solved in the easiest way possible.
