2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIts pure and simple delegate math. This is not new people.
The pickup of delegates from Puerto Rico and the verbal commitment of superdelegates that went to Hillary today put her over the top. This is not new. Superdelegates are not new. This is the system. However, I do wish that this call from the AP and NBC could have waited until tomorrow until at least 8pm when Hillary wins New Jersey. I do think it affects voter turnout but everyone should have known that this was a possibility. They counted superdelegates with Obama in 2008 to put him over the top. This race has been over since the first Super Tuesday in March so why are people up in arms?
Further, Sanders keeps making this claim about superdelegates switching. ITS NOT HAPPENING!!!!

Nicely done!
There are BSers on this site. They're sensitive! You don't want to hurt their feelings do you (because they can't understand a thing you say)?

I forgot thin-skinned. Yes, I'm certain that we can win without you BSers that choose to remain irrelevant and refuse to support the Democratic party.
