CNN still hasn't called it

[JustinL]

Are they simply unaware of the "objective fact" that Clinton is the presumptive nominee, or are they perhaps waiting for someone to win a majority of the pledged delegates?

1. They're talking nonstop about Trump. Good for them.

2. Perhaps they didn't get the arm-twisting phone call from Bullhorn Bill...

...you know, Clinton finger wagging in all its gory... I mean, glory.

Or just maybe they have a shred of journalistic decency. I mean, after all, Clinton DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PLEDGED DELEGATES TODAY, AND WILL NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PLEDGED DELEGATES TOMORROW.

5. Yes they have. I've got CNN on right now and the

headline is Breaking News: Clinton Has Delegates To Clinch Nomination.

6. Good point. I would believe it only if CNN called it.

WAIT - they too just called it.

9. Well, usually that's because "calling it" means actually earning the pledged delegates.

Stupid Hillary supporters who have been trumpeting "call it" for fucking months.

Hubris! It's her turn!!!!!

Note: There are no "turns" for the Oval Office; one has to earn it. There is also no family entitlement, through either birth or marriage.

I will unhesitatingly support and vote for the Democratic nominee in November, but if it is Hillary Clinton that will be the most difficult vote of my life. Much of that reticence will be not because of Hillary, but because of her supporters.

I suggest Hillary Clinton supporters tone things down radically and likewise Bernie supporters -- many from
both sides have been acting like fucking two year olds here. It has made DU suck for months. Grow the fuck up!

Unite, or we lose.
