Better wait for the Iowa Democratic party to certify the results, Hillary.
You're too impatient to wait for that shallow, statistically aberrational victory.

Sadly, she's stuck with that "declaration of victory" narrative that will be hammered on 24 hr news. I think it's possible that NH and maybe even Super Tuesday are going to be polluted by the appearance of arrogance and an onslaught of ridicule. I am not a supporter, but I really feel for her. That is unspinnable and must be terribly embarrassing.
