Hillary Clinton Will Claim a Historic Victory Tuesday Night—and the Media Should Cover It That Way

[workinclasszero]

But Sanders and his voters deserve time to think about their next steps, too.
By Joan WalshTwitterTODAY 12:52 PM

Hillary Clinton needs just 24 more delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, when the total of delegates she’s won in primaries and caucuses are combined with her superdelegate supporters. Assuming she wins New Jersey on Tuesday night—and she is leading there 64-36 in the latest polls—she will get them, hours before the polls close in California, where she and Senator Bernie Sanders are still locked in a tight race.

She will win the nomination Tuesday night, no matter what the Sanders campaign says about superdelegates (more on that in a minute.) She will become the first woman major-party nominee for the presidency, and she should claim that victory for herself, and for the tens of millions of women who support her. And the media should cover it as the historic event that it is.

1. First Presidential nominee to be under investigation?

[Bad Thoughts]

3. Even if investigated, she will still have made history ...

... getting the most delegates out of the primaries and caucuses and will have the potential to be the nominee.

So, if she is the first woman to become the Democratic nominee for president, we can celebrate her victory.
If she is forced to leave because of the investigation, we can still celebrate her victory.

2. The media will..Sanders credibility 100% trashed now with the

Reports coming out.....on his support of Obama when Obama was named presumptive nominee....overt sexism....one rule about super delegates for the black guy...another for the female

5. By that logic...Bernie is a Jew, so if you don't support him, you must be an anti-semite?

So few posts; yet all so SILLY....hmmm.

7. Lol..Nice try...we are talking what sanders did in 2008 and

What he is doing today....presumptive nominee meant one thing when it was a black guy...and another when it's a women...super delegates mean one thing when it's a black guy and another when's it's a female....any way you look at it sanders is no longer credible...perhaps a sexists...but definitely two-faced

8. Again-YOU keep bringing up race/sex where it has NO bearing...so by YOUR logic, that's anti-semitic.

9. It does appear

That you have a legitimate thinking point. Welcome aboard DU!
