A week from tomorrow Hillary will be the 1st woman presumptive nominee of a major party, period.

[RBInMaine]

One week from tomorrow Hillary Clinton will be the first woman presumptive nominee of a major party.
And there is nothing, not a single thing, that can be done about it by a minority who want to deny math and plain hard facts. Beliefs in non-existent conspiracy theories and wild notions of a "rigged" system will not stop the inevitable lead that she has in pledged delegates and votes.

And like a grown adult, when one loses, and loses FAIR and SQUARE, one should lose with grace and accept the verdict of the voters.

In this particular circumstance, the grace lies in moving forward to do what Bernie Sanders said he would do: "Work every day to defeat Donald Trump." Simple as that.

1. And soon after the BoB rapture comes to DU

[dchill]

2. Nobody with their head out of the sand...

has said that for the last five days. Time to catch up on the news!

[CorporatistNation]

6. Yes... It IS The NEWS... Today And Tomorrow That WILL In The END... Reak Havoc On Madam Secretary's

AMBITION...

MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[Trust Buster]

3. And all the misogynist's heads will explode......LOL

[Rattlesnake Chaser]

4. She may be the presumptive nominee

But she won't be a confirmed nominee at the end of the convention.

[aikoaiko]

5. I hope Bernie keeps campaigning until the convention is over.

For the causes her represents and to keep pissing off the right people.

[PowerToThePeople]

7. I will be happy that it happened

Just not happy who it is.

That is, IF it does happen.

[imagine2015]

8. But Clinton will not and can not become the actual nominee before the convention.

She doesn't have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination and we don't know how many superdelegates might jump off her sinking ship like they did in 2008.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. That's an old but relevant saying.

[appal_jack]

9. Nonsense. "Presumptive" implies sufficient pledged delegates.

Hillary may presently reach the magic number counting stupor-delegates, but right now their words are tracings in sand. A lot can happen between now and the end of July: there is an incoming tide of multiple FBI investigations.

Hillary is disliked by many, and trusted by few. Anyone ASSuming that she is the nominee prior to the Convention is certainly counting chickens before they hatch. Colonel, I mean Senator, Sanders is ready to get to work!

16. Wrong presumptive means "presumed in the absence of further information"

Not a guaranteed sure thing, but a presumption that, absent a change in the situation from where it stands today, she will still have the support of sufficient super delegates to give her the nomination at the convention.

10. I can't wait...so exciting

And then all the crap ends here too...hurry June 7th.

[AgingAmerican]

11. Hillarys Candidacy has Devolved into an Arrogant Insufferable Self-serving Disaster

[all american girl]

12. YEAH!!!!!!!! This is going to be so exciting!!!!!!

[appal_jack]

13. With an avatar of Hillary using her unsecure Blackberry

With an avatar of Hillary using her unsecured Blackberry, surely checking e-mail routed through her unsecured server, is this post brilliant sarcasm?

If so, my hat's off to you, all american girl.

If you are by chance being serious, you may want to revisit a few assumptions.

[all american girl]

14. Naw, I'm fine where I stand...and yeah, being very serious, but thanks for the concern.

[hobbit709]

15. There'll be several other 1sts too-most of them not good.

[TransitJohn]

17. What does adding the word period to the end of a declarative statement do?

Other than convey petulance and an unwillingness to have a discussion among equals?

[davidlynch]

19. ^^^ THANK YOU ^^^ ...

That's exactly what it does, it says "I'm the parent and you are the child and you will do as I say, period." Thanks for noticing that.

[99Forever]

18. Really?

Does the DoJ indictment for her Federal crimes being investigated by the FBI come down before or after that?

[davidlynch]

20. Every god-damned day we have one of these threads and it does nothing to help Hillary's campaign...

Just saying over and over that Hillary is the winner won't work. It doesn't have any effect on anyone reading DU, that's for certain. It is just recreational typing.

[davidlynch]

21. Please: No More "Hillary Is the Presumptive Nominee" Threads--They're Boring

Can we please all agree to have a moratorium on these idiotic threads, because they are doing nothing:

1. They won't magically make Hillary become the presumptive nominee.
2. They won't convince anyone on DU to change their minds.

In short, they are a waste of bandwidth, just venting and recreational typing.
