Why are we gonna have primaries if this is already over?

[Colobo]

Let's save money; the polling companies have already decided and the media has ratified. Money can be invested in bigger and better things.

It's over. Let's give up, save energy, and go to bed.

(...and God Bless The Queen). :)

4. Illusion... and of course the money...

They have to put forth the illusion of free elections, and the media whores HAVE to rake in the estimated 1 billion dollars in media buys that will be spent this cycle....

5. Because it's the people who will decide, not the polling companies or the media.

The fact that the people are strongly favoring Clinton to the point of near inevitability does not change the fact that voting expresses the will of the people. It's all part of the political process. Every race is different. This one is all Clinton, and the fact that she can start focusing on the general election NOW will put us in a much stronger postion to WIN.

It's all the will of the people, media or no media. Supporters of other candidates often use the media as a lame excuse for poor performance, because they don't want to admit people simply may feel another candidate is the better choice.
