The Associated Press has officially called the Democratic race for Hillary Clinton, stating she has passed 2,383 delegates required to be the nominee.

Yesterday she won PR by a wide margin...

Just like Obama, she didn't need the last round of states including CA.

CBS News is confirming the AP Call.

Sanders has responded on Twitter that he won't accept the results.
Hillary says she is flattered but she still has primaries to win.

Bullsh*t.

She won't get the delegates she needs until the super delegates vote July 25th. The establishment media adds in the super delegate count, even though they know they aren't suppose to.

Get your god damn facts straight!

ABC News is calling.

Hillary pulled an Obama (He did the same thing in 2008).

Despite Hillary having 3M+ votes than Sanders and having more key states in the pocket, Sanders is vowing to take Super Delegates away from her in order to win the nomination and is telling sources that it's time to disregard the primary vote.

The establishment media may call it, but Hillary won't have the delegates she needs to get the nomination until July 25th when the super delegates vote, so they are straight up lying if they are saying that she has clinched it now.

They did the same thing for then outsider Obama at the beginning of June where he was only beating Hillary by 60 pledged delegates.
Obama had only been in the U.S. Senate for 2 years at the time.

Hillary then felt into line and quit the race a few days line, giving her support to Obama.

Hillary this time around has the most pledged delegates by far, the most total votes, the most super delegates, the backing of the main Democratic Donors, and backing of Obama (who is set to endorse her this week).

Hell even Obama of all people finally called Bernie today to tell him to fall into line.

Well there is no big loss for Sanders, since he didn't plan on staying a Democrat after the November election even if the won the nomination and presidency.

Though the deadline has passed in many states for filing for non party candidates.
Many states have sore losers laws that have never been tested, that prevent the loser of a primary run from running again under a different label.

Whatever the final outcome, Hillary has certainly made history. She is the first candidate from a major party to clinch her party's nomination while being the target of an FBI investigation.

And the first female candidate.

First Wall Street's female candidate.

Oh grand! Now we can be like the cotton farmer who has to choose the lesser of two weevils.

I don't understand this whole lesser of two evils thing. First of all I don't see Hillary as evil, just not as progressive as Bernie. Her politics history has been so badly mangled.

But even if it were a case of voting for the lesser of two evils, I don't understand why that would be a hard choice. If you were looking for a place to live and the only choices were a dump with $200 a month rent or an equally bad dump for $400 dollars a month, the choice should be clear. Either way it sucks but one sucks less. I don't get why some people try to use that as an excuse to stay home.
