Definitely a depressing outcome.

I was hoping Bernie would go to Philadelphia with a majority of the pledged delegates, only to be screwed out of the nomination by Hillary's superdelegate advantage. The resulting propaganda opportunity would have been sweet (and the insurance companies could bandage up the Philly property owners). But, sigh, it looks like Hillary has won her party's nomination fair and square. So, no popcorn for Philly!

Well, I just checked the delegate count and she's almost 200 short as far as pledged delegates are concerned. She does have the 571 'superdelegates' though, but they are free to change their minds. Bernie would have to reel most of them in to have a chance. The idea that she won "fair and square" is only true if the party-awarded superdelegate system is fair. Without those superdelegates in play, this would be headed to a contested convention.

HillRy DID NOT win fair and square, her win has the AP fingerprints ALL over it!!! The MSM reporting Hillary had the nomination the day BEFORE the primaries suppressed Bernies voters!!! I live in Ventura county both Hillary and Bernie were here last week Bernie had 10,000, Hillary had 400 in a high school gym!!!! I am also not ruling out voter fraud it IS CA.
