The fact that AP called the race before a ton of people got to vote is not Hill's fault. (Original Post) Joe the Revelator Jun 2016 OP

She beat Bernie fair and square with our votes and the press acknowledged it upaloopa Jun 2016 #3
And got over using the votes of SD's. Before they even publically declared. Joe the Revelator Jun 2016 #5
Just like 2008 that your side so often talks about upaloopa Jun 2016 #7

Thats a problem. The party, if you can even call it that anymore, has a huge problem.

But you have to not be biased to be able to see it. It's been in the news. In mainstream publications. I'm surprised you 'missed' it.

She NEVER .... Does WHAT?

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

Apparently they think that she is way more powerful than most people. Gee, that would be a good trait for a president.

is frequently, perhaps even mostly, built on story-lines shopped around by the campaigns and their superpacs.

That belief being in place, rightly or wrongly in this specific case, guides choice of narratives

The AP can count to 2383. They did so and declared her the presumptive nominee.

It's not that complicated. You can blow it into some goofy conspiracy, but it's really nothing more than that.

You know, math.

she never has responsibility for any negative consequences of her decisions, or any actions she takes. That is what it seems like in Hillary world, anyway.
