Clinton setting concession speech to coincide with the anniversay of RFK's death?
Advertisements [?]
  Last night was the expected and conventional time to give a concession speech and Senator Clinton made a point of not conceding.

  Timing a concession speech to coincide with the anniversary of RFK would seem to be an intentional way to conflate the two events for the emotional benefit her followers.

  Will Clinton conflate the events of that day over 30 years ago and her own loss, perhaps bringing up "silenced voices"?

  There has also been a meme throughout her campaign that Clinton's losses were the result of an unfair prosecution with tragic consequences. Will these things be linked as well?

  Senator Clinton's prior behavior has arguably raised more than a few eyebrows. Will she essentially "milk" the emotion of the day and somehow link it to her own removal from the race, painting herself as a martyr similar to RFK?
