Dem Primary PreMature Call: NBC sinks Hillary in CA Primary Election

Now all Hillary supporters in tomorrow's election can stay home. She is already the "presumptive" nominee according to those who know much about math. If you know about prose, you know the new look at politics has just begun. Thanks to those much younger than myself (60) the future is secured. The young voters are the future. They will vote in CA, and beyond. For years to come.

The future voters will decide we did what was right for America. Go CA and the other 4 states!

This does 3 things. 1 - as you point an excuse for doing badly 2 - an attempt to discourage Sanders voters and 3 - position her as a victim of media not its beneficiary.

We have vote by mail here in California and so far it's independents that trail far behind in overall ballot return. It's Sanders people who wait until election day to vote.

After all, what's the point?

And folks might still be anxious to vote for Hillary, since her nomination is historic. I know I am proud to have been part of that history.

But it doesn't matter at this point. HRC will garner even ore delegates to,oreow and Bernie will still lose, whatever the outcome.

Yelling winner winner winner to your kid who is in the lead but only one foot from the start line.

there is a thing called a gracious winner and a gracious loser, but that can't happen till the end of the race.

e.g., 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!

Your underlying assertion is false - the AP called it, not NBC - so, the rest of your post is nonsense.

They can go out there and vote tomorrow. Nothing has changed. Their delegates still count. But Sanders has been doomed for more than a month either way.
