32. "When the voting is over the primary is over on DU. "

Yea and your point. He said when voting is over. You claim that is in 9 days. Voting is not over till a Candidate has a majority of delegates. Hillary is not going to get 80% of the delegates that are left. CA is not some early state Red State that media can lie and paint Sanders as a racist so African American votes go to Hillary. So if she does not get the majority of votes or Sanders suspends his campaign then the DNC convention is where the voting is over. Just because she is assured the nomination does not mean she automatically gets to bypass the rules and gets it handed to her. She still needs the VOTES of a majority of delegates. Saying anything else you are just wrong. Now you could say that she is going to get the nomination at the convention, but to say otherwise is just being dishonest unless you know that she is going to rig election and get <80% of the pledged delegates in CA.
