Man never is, but always to be blessed:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

They all vote 50 days from now. Nothing anyone here says will matter one bit, except to keep some of you educated as to the facts so that dumbness on DU does not prevail.

when CA is done will matter way more than you waiting 50 days from now for a formality.

They are free to change their minds at the convention.

Over 400 delegates indicated they would support Hillary Clinton before any other candidates had entered the race!

Many will abandon her as a weak candidate against Trump. She, like Trump, is disliked and distrusted by a majority of voters.

That won't change. Especially after the latest episode in her e-mail scandal. People don't appreciate being lied to.

Hillary is going to be recognized as the presumptive nominee on June 7 and she will be our party's standard bearer in the Fall.

70% of the remaining pledged delegates to overcome Clinton. Possible but not probable at all. Thinking the super's are going to switch with no evidence of it at all is pretty pointless.
