This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Raine1967 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

AP is reporting that she reached the 'number'.

Love her or hate her, this is fugging history. Congrats Presumptive Nominee for the Democratic Party!

NBC has now called her the Presumptive Nominee

1. Well that was such a nice thing to say.

Thanks.

[chillfactor]

2. good to hear......

but I will wait until tomorrow just the same.I want to see her knock sanders and his supporters out of the ballpark!

[Skittles]

7. I would prefer she bring them into the game

[malaise]

8. +1,000

[Volaris]

21. I wish I didn't think this way,

But I think she thinks she doesn't need us to help her win, because she has Trump to run against.

It's cold-blooded and calculating and ruthless and for damn sure I can respect that. But it doesn't mean she isn't running the Last Campaign of the Twentieth Century, and that doesn't mean that I don't want to vote for The Future in the General as well as the Primary.

38. Hillary herself has not attacked BS in a long time

[Amimnoch]

31. Agree!

I'd love to see him made into the Secretary of the Treasury and let him have at it.

[passiveporcupine]

12. Aren't you lovely

And you want us to vote for Hillary in the GE?

[Ned_Devine]

19. Tone fucking deaf

Can you believe we're not remotely interested in supporting this candidacy?

[MadDAsHell]

33. Agreed; screw those votes. Nt

10. Thanks - I added one as well

They should all have waited until tomorrow

[watoos]

26. I pledge that I am going to lose 10 pounds tomorrow

that doesn't make it so. Hillary still won't have the required votes tomorrow since super delegates won't have voted yet. How about we wait until everyone votes? Calling Hillary the presumptive nominee tonight is a slap in the face to Bernie and a slap in the face to his supporters.

4. It is history!

And about damn time! Thank you, malaise.

I remember it well … I thought it was awesome …

I mean this time is great too … but not the first time for the Dem party …

[George II]

18. I thought she was great, but she was not the nominee.

[Cryptoad]

13. May the Good Lord

[MisterP]

14. I encourage--no, BEG--the Clinton campaign to rub this in California's face

[Hortensis]

15. Yes, important history! Thanks, Puerto Rico!

But I'm still waiting for the vote tomorrow to really celebrate. We have it all planned, waiting for the counts in New Jersey then the others...

[Boldine]

17. In that case all Clinton supporters

should stay home tomorrow and relax

[ailsagirl]

23. ...

And Time magazine, New York Times, and WaPo

[kadaholo]

24. This News Has Motivated me to...

...send another contribution to Bernie! Go California and other states voting tomorrow!

[Lucky Luciano]

25. Who cares

[DrBulldog]

27. Wow. That and $5 will buy you a cup of coffee.

With all that RIGGING, BRIBING, and MONEY she needed, this "historical event" will become a footnote very soon.

[arendt]

28. Its "Dewey beats Truman", a newspaper headline. NOT a fact. n/t

[ashtonelijah]

29. Those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling is now well over 30 million!

I am so proud to have helped her get there. #ImWithHer

[Gene Debs]

36. She's the greatest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!

[wendylaroux]

30. she sure is the first woman Presumptive Nominee.yup,she sure is.

[LibDemAlways]

32. It's bullshit and her campaign has already issued a sort of

retraction. California votes tomorrow and Bernie will win big here. Hillary isn't a presumptive anything at this point.

[MadDAsHell]

34. Ah, the old "history" chestnut.

At what point will we stop caring how "historical" our candidate's skin color or genatalia are and start caring how historical their POLICY POSITIONS are??

[Enthusiast]

35. Voter suppression. But that comes as little surprise.

[moondust]

42. +1

PRESUMPTUOUS.

ftfy

[DesertRat]

39. This is very exciting!

[Loki]

40. The Democratic Party has made history twice now in my lifetime.

They nominated an African American man who won the Presidency twice and now we have nominated a woman. This is my party and I am one proud Democrat tonight.

[SansACause]

41. Dancing has begun!

What a historic day!

[Raine1967]

43. Locking; Please repost in GDP.

Skinner has directed all posts about candidates running for the D nomination to be posted there until we have a clear nominee. I believe that date is either after tomorrow or after the DC primary.

I hope you understand.
