Two good things for Hillary that came out of tonight... [View all]

First, with all the news on the repub side, the fact that Sanders won a few more delegates is totally being ignored. All the political news on my Facebook feed, for instance is about Trump being the nominee. This should minimize the usual bounce he might have received from 'winning'.

Second, the more stubborn and difficult BS becomes, the more ill will he creates among party establishment. I think there is a sweet spot for the leverage he hopes to attain by staying in the race, and he is soon going to start sliding downhill. Before long, he won't even be invited to speak at the convention. You can hear the pundits starting to get worked up about BS staying in a race where he has no chance. Give it a few more days, and they will become anxious to start the GE hype, and either show outright anger at him, or just ignore him and start covering the Hillary v. Trump contest.
