Today is the 72nd Anniversary of D-Day; kids, ask your parents or the
Either way, the race is over Tuesday, when Hillary will win about 300 more delegates than the 2383 needed for her nomination. But an HRC win in California would remove the last vestige of credibility for the Sanders campaign.
Except for his fantasy of getting all those supers to flock to him because….. good reason, anyone?
Because everybody knows rats swim toward a sinking ship.
"If politics were poker, Keyser just went all-in with a deuce and a nine."
Don't forget about his Bronze Star. That's gotta amount to something?
FYI my county party has notified me of a release from the Secretary of State's office (dated 5/24)…
The Secretary of State found a problem with the mobile version of their registration page that may have caused voter registration and party affiliation changes to fail.
If you plan on voting in the primary, the Secretary urges you to check http://GoVoteColorado.com to verify your current party affiliation and registration status.
If you are currently not registered to vote or are unaffiliated, you may register/affiliate and vote in person at your local designated vote center up until primary election day on June 28th, but if you want a mail ballot, you must register by June 20th or else your county clerk can not get you a mail ballot in time to vote.
Can't believe this shit. Associated Press, via MSNBC, just declared HRC to be presumptive nominee. She didn't even wait for V to post delegate-by-delegate updates.
Premature much?
Someone tell me why Dems should even bother to have primaries, caucuses, or conventions. Just ask the corporations and cable channels whom they would prefer.
Criteria: good hair, well-connected, friendly to corporations who advertise on the network or contribute large sums to campaigns.
Oh, and it will help on the Republican side if they continually spout stupid-ass, but sensational sound bites with easy vocabulary.
If you think the media wants good hair, how do you explain their fascination with Trump? As for me, I will claim victory at 615 tTuesday, when her victory in New Jersey gives her a mathematical lock. I'm pissed but At least this proves bernie cant force the media to slant the news his way. Only trump can do that.
So tonight, just a PBR to celebrate. Tomorrow night, we break out the fracking fluid.
First, Team HRC is no happier about this than Team Bernie. They've both been working their butt's off for the big Tuesday contests. They both want to get their constituencies fired up and turned out.
Second, there are no biased, nefarious or hair related reasons for the media call. They've been contacting supers, just like they did for Trump, and they're calling it, just like they do on election nights long before 100% of the vote is in. They're always chomping at the bit to call as soon as they can, everyone wants to be first, and there are always complaints that early calling will suppress the vote. It's nothing to do with wanting to screw Bernie.
Third, it's not as if we haven't all known for a long time now that HRC is the presumptive nominee. I mean…. seriously. The call isn't going to change the outcome.
That said I join the HRC campaign in wishing they had waited until after New Jersey. As for the Sanders campaign it's hard to be very sympathetic. They're always self righteously pissed off about something and their plan to get all the supers to switch was never gong to work.
Not to mention it's a tactic they turned to only after realizing that, despite all their hyperventilating over the prospect of HRC's supers over-ruling a Bernie supporting majority of the people, the majority were going for HRC!?! How dare the people choose HRC over Bernie? Obviously the people really do need super delegate "correction" after all. Forget everything Team Bernie ever said about the scourge of the supers. Now it's … it ain't over until I get those supers to show those stupid voters what's best for them.
Well guess what? It is over.
Unless the reporting was incorrect from Andrea Mitchell, Hillary was not happy that AP and MSNBC declared her to be the presumptive nominee last night. She wanted to wait until after the New Jersey primary today.
Pols, it's Muhammad Ali. Mohammed is the actual prophet.
Thanks for catching that. Autocorrect strikes again!
AP and NBC made the call in order to suppress voter turnout in the primaries. This would not hurt Clinton much; as BC and V never tire of reminding us, she's got a lock on the nomination due to the undying allegiance of the superdelegates. She could lose every state and still win the nomination.
Suppressing voter turnout or ballot turn-in would hurt Sanders, since there are hoops for his supporters to jump through in California; they have to request a Democratic ballot. As we've seen in Colorado, it's easy to monkey wrench things by having a ballot shortage and requiring people to vote provisional ballots, which are counted late, if ever.
I speculate that the polls were showing that Sanders had a strong chance of winning California, (within 2 points or margin of error) and that's why AP made the call it did – to suppress voter turnout today.
But if Sanders wins CA by a large margin, as he will probably win in Montana and the Dakotas, it cuts into the other part of the Hillary narrative; the often-cited "We're winning by three million!!!!" figure. The "Shut up and quit already!" demand. The" We're sick of hearing you sore losers whine!" complaint.
Hence, it would add to his strength going in to the Democratic convention, to demand real structural changes in superdelegates, party rules, etc.
Comcast, the parent company of NBC, is definitely in Hillary's corner; the CEO, David Cohen, has had $2700 plate fundraisers for her, as well as bundled other contributions, and Comcast lobbyists are among the telecom services who have contributed $414,000 her Presidential campaign, as well as lobbied her as a Senator. Comcast does not want policies such as net neutrality, strict FCC oversight of the industry, antitrust laws limiting its mergers, or the Consumer Finance Protection Agency to limit its profits, and these are the policies it lobbies against. Consider that the next time you fume about your cable bill.
AP, which first made the premature call that HRC had "won", had made "mistakes" in reporting which benefited the HRC campaign in the past, notably in Colorado, where they misreported the delegate totals +8 in her favor for two days. AP still has incorrect Colorado delegate totals on its website. AP reports 77 total Colorado delegates, Clinton 36 to Sanders 41. The correct total, as reported by the Post, is a total of 66 Colorado delegates, of which Sanders got 38 and Clinton got 28. And even that is wrong, as the Democratic Party of Colorado finally admitted that they had withheld a Sanders delegate, so that Sanders actually got 39 and Hillary 27.
I've looked into AP's corporate structure, and haven't found Clinton donors, although there are certainly cozy relationships with Clinton donors, bundlers, and lobbyists. So regardless of whether this is nefarious or just incompetence on AP's part, they got it wrong, consistently got it wrong to Hillary's benefit, and still are getting it wrong. AP is not a reliable news organization.
So proceed with your mocking and name calling – whatever floats your boat. We are set to elect the first woman, yes, and that is a symbolic victory, but only symbolic. The woman we are electing will make no significant changes to politics as usual in this country – corporations and the 1% will still make most important decisions without voter input. This latest call by the corporate media is a slap in the face for voters; it reminds us that we are really unnecessary – that they are the ones in charge.
I'm not going to be on here all day trading barbs with V or BC – got stuff to do, and I've made my case. I predict Sanders will win CA, and of course, Hillary will still win the nomination. …..you'll forgive me if I don't celebrate.
You need to breath into a paper bag mama. AP, NBC and all the rest make these these calls because that's the business they're in and everybody likes to be first. They do it for all elections as soon as they can. They did it for Trump.
What this call tells us is just what we've all known anyway: HRC is the presumptive nominee. No need to try to suppress the vote. Suppress or increase, at this point it doesn't make a difference, just like when a candidate is ahead by 10 points in a general with 75% of the vote in and they make the call before waiting for 100%. That's all the call means. That's all the effect it has other than pissing both Team HRC and Team Bernie off and giving bloggers and talking heads something to hyperventilate over.
Sanders is toast, stick a fork in him and call him "French" . . .
Seriously, this contest has been over for months. Nothing nefarious, yes some predjucial calls, but mostly American politics at its usual, if not finest . . .
. . . It's not personal. Accept it, deal with it, and get over it.
. . . or, go see if there's still any Japanese soldiers left willing to share their caves?
You forgot the part where the elders of zion ordered the AP to make the fix, MJ. If you're going the full conpiracy grip, you don't want to forget that part. When and if you return to our planet, you can still join the celebration in November when we beat Trump.
But Bernie's Jewish! Shouldn't the elders have been on his side?
We elders always keep the goyim guessing. And I read somewhere that we're all international bankers, and you know what Bernie thinks of bankers. And He's married to a Shiksa. Need I go on?
OK but HRC is a Shiksa. And she once kissed Queen Noor. This must be getting as tough for the Elders as The Donald is for the Republican leadership.
To make it even worse, the elders are running out of Maccabee beer and Carmel wine. What's the point of secretly ruling the world if you have to drink Mogen David and
Budweiser"America?"Bernie's not "an elder"??!!??
Fuxsakes, how old do you gotta' be to get into that club?????
Don't ask me. I've apparently been left off the mailing list. I blame my married gentile last name. But my long tall blue eyed western boy is worth it. Alsoour son who can trace his American ancestry back to before the Revolutionary War on his dad's side (but is Jewish by Jewish law so forget the SAR) and who was tall enough to reach things on the high shelves for his little Jewish mom by the time he was 13. Not that the world domination and wealth wouldn't have been nice too.
I blame Michael Gold. His book "Jews without money" ruined it for everybody.
You forgot the part where the elders of zion ordered the AP to make the fix, MJ. If you're going the full conpiracy trip you don't want to forget that part. When and if you return to our planet, you can still join the celebration in November when we beat Trump. Assuming the Masons don't decide to install Trump.
Wasn't aware that those sneaky bastards did it twice?!? Leave nothing to chance, huh? Wow!!! . . .
My Amazon fire tends to repeat things, which my more sophisticated Mac is less likely to do. It reminds me of an actual interview with a prosecutor on a network news show:
"Your typical sex offender is a repeater. He's a repeater."
That's what they're telling you to say . . .
