Donald Trump on Twitter: "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism"

"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"

Bodies aren't yet cold, but there's his opening gambit.

The AP calling it didn't change anything of note

The fact of the matter is that whoever has the most enthusiastic supporters is the candidate who will lose the least amount of votes - California was never going to win the nomination for Sanders, but if he was going to win the state he still will. That is the only logical conclusion one can draw from the past day's news.

The only people who will be staying home are those who weren't particularly engaged and don't care as much as the most fervent supporters. I dare say that given the insurgent nature of Bernie Sanders' campaign, it should be Clinton voters who are more likely to be swayed into inaction by the AP's decision to call the race. After all, the assertion from the Sanders camp has been for weeks that they know Clinton will go over the top in total delegates, but that they will seek to convert them prior to the convention.
