Are you a paid shill for the Bernie campaign?

This is exactly the double standard I'm talking about. So Obama had the requisite delegates (pledged and super) before the convention in 2008 to be called the presumptive nominee, but Hillary Clinton does not?

Of course we will have a nominee after the convention, and like every nominating process in recent memory we'll have a PRESUMPTIVE nominee beforehand.
