Oh no, Clinton only leading Trump by 3-6 points in NEW JERSEY!!!
Oh wait, that was Obama vs McCain in 2008.

He squeaked by with a 16 point margin of victory in November.
Superdelegates are not going to disenfranchise millions of Clinton voters over meaningless general election polls in the spring/summer.

This is what happens when a candidate clinches a majority of pledged and overall delegates
They clinch the nomination and get declared the winner, period. Reality does not ask the loser to sign off. No one cares what the loser has to say at that point.

Rubio kneels before Zod
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rubio-apologized-trump-hand-sizeSen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in an interview aired Sunday that he apologized to presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump for mocking the size of his former opponent's hands.
...
"I said, 'you know, I'm sorry that I said that. It's not who I am and I shouldn't
have done it,'" Rubio said. "I didn't say it in front of the cameras, I didn't want any political benefit. I'm not a candidate now so I can say that to you."
Rubio said that the comment was unlike him and that it embarrassed his family.
"It's not what I do," Rubio said. "And by doing it, I ended up hurting myself."
