I Heard Another Theory About The AP Call This A. M.....

[global1]

that it was intended to get the FBI moving faster to recommend indictment before the convention. Calling it prematurely would set a fire under the FBI to move things along faster.

Any basis to that theory?

1. Where did you hear it?

[global1]

2. Watercooler Talk By Some Of My Work Colleagues....

that are political wonks.

3. I think it's bullshit.

This isn't going to make anything go faster. I do, however feel that it was purposeful, deliberate, and about as crooked as they come.

Our election process is so fucked, and nothing will be done to fix it. Watch and see. Even after the DNC said to not count her SD's, the media is doing so.

8. Why did the DNC sprain an eyelid

winking at the press when they told it "not to count the superdelegates" ???

[SmittynMo]

10. I saw the bit

There was no winking. Dream on.

4. Nah, it's not that

It was one final dirty trick in this primary. She was going to lose Cali and get embarrassed so they had to depress Bernie's turnout.

6. I am worried that the turnout in California is going to be low

The media will then turn around and blame Sanders for it saying he couldn't energize his supporters. I'd almost bet this is what is going to happen tomorrow.

7. There's a chance it will be now

The casual voters are going to see the morning headlines and think "why bother". It's just another dirty trick in a primary that's been full of them. It's just revolting.

[Califonz]

9. Sanders voters are much more motivated than those for the other side.

Here's hoping the "why bother" breaks 60-40 in Bernie's favor!

[pengu]

11. I'll drink to that

I've only got coffee though.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. No question... another new low for the Hillary campaign. Is anyone surprised?

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

5. I don't think so. I think it's simpler and part of the "breaking news/scoop mentality'

that pervades the narrow perspective of the 24/7 news channels

They need attractions to draw viewers. People who hear such remarkable shit want answers to "what just happened??" and they turn to the media for answers because it's them who just created the breaking news.

Few people in the eastern time zone will stay up late enough to see the returns in CA in real time.

The news outlets want those views...and they got them earlier rather than later.

14. I'm thinking this is their prefabricated excuse to cover their vote stealing.

Add the "lower voter turnout" with the lack of exit polls and you've got the perfect Clinton coverup
