39. You've managed to contradict yourself

in a single sentence.* If she hasn't reached an insurmountable number of delegates--which may not be clear until votes are cast in Philadelphia--she can't be said to have won.

If this is a done deal the way so many people are maintaining, I'm at a loss to explain the recent spate of posts insisting that that's truly the case. If I thought my candidate had things wrapped up at this point, I'd be enjoying myself in the Science and Religion Groups, marveling at amazing insects and quantum physics, among other things.

There seems to be an awful lot of whistling in the dark going on around here among Clinton supporters, especially those constantly importuning Skinner and telling him how to run his website. I'm sure he enjoys that.




*At least I think it was single sentence. It's hard to tell with people who use ellipses like a crutch. Don't take that personally. You're not alone there.
