This story was written and promoted in order to depress turnout for Sanders today- one can be 100% certain of this because of the timing- <i>the day before</i> the primary. I just love the bit about how the Clinton campaign was unwilling to declare victory, something they have been proclaiming for the last 2 months in the campaign to get Sanders to drop out!<br /><br />Trump was right- the press is a den of scumbags and sleazes. However, Sanders deserves it for not really going after Clinton on her ethics.Yancey Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427042729449397357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-29831036074232369712016-06-07T11:13:46.311-05:002016-06-07T11:13:46.311-05:00If I were a Bernie voter, I think this would motiv...<br />If I were a Bernie voter, I think this would motivate me more.

[emphasis mine]<br /><br />The AP wanted to hype the news from the Virgin Islands. How to do that? The way they chose was to opine that this clinches her nomination. Will this increase or will it depress Bernie turnout in California? Doesn't matter to the AP one way or the other. They'll still get their headlines because it's California. Maybe more mouse clicks is Bernie wins, but unless he somehow manages to win by a landslide Hillary will get enough delegates to guarantee a first ballot nomination.Big Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831645119853118904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19260860073528137992016-06-07T10:38:01.377-05:002016-06-07T10:38:01.377-05:00http://www.wnd.com/2016/06/trump-u-judges-group-ti...http://www.wnd.com/2016/06/trump-u-judges-group-tied-to-national-council-of-laraza/<br />Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277966379512526469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79584192952521833622016-06-07T10:31:19.870-05:002016-06-07T10:31:19.870-05:00Whether you think this helps Hillary or Bernie is ...Whether you think this helps Hillary or Bernie is besides the point.<br /><br />What did the AP think?<br /><br />The AP probably remembers what happened in Florida in 2000.

What will happen if Bernie wins California? If that happens, the Hillary-supporting media can have a big collective yawn over the results, leading with the 'fact' that it's all irrelevant because Hillary has already won (and suggesting it's probably only because Hillary voters may stayed home since their candidate had already clinched). The AP story was intended not so much to affect the results in California, but to make a Hillary loss into boring non-news.MarkWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196457197737335405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19301098902491778382016-06-07T10:24:49.462-05:002016-06-07T10:24:49.462-05:00"The federal judge not only has ties to La Ra..."The federal judge not only has ties to La Raza, he has ties to the clown pushing the lawsuit against Trump.

I disagree with you that either of these candidates can defeat the other "soundly" (not with polarization the way it is today) or that he is the only Republican who could have defeated her.
