America is going to bed. They just watched Hillary kinda say she won. Only die hard Bernie supporters will be tuned in when Sanders finally gives his speech.

(11,785 posts)Not only will people be able to see Sanders give a victory speech if he wins, they'll be able to see Clinton claim a victory long before the race was decided. Over and over and over again. She truly is her own worst enemy.

(1,252 posts)To declare victory before it was over and then make a speech? Maybe in the morning she will rethink that strategy. Bad form.
