Yeah, CNN has been more than a bit over the top with this the last couple of days. Clinton News Network indeed. They've been even worse than MSNBC the last few weeks.

Did CNN even call it or just report what dumb AP said.

I see no reason for them to have done that before today other than the "look at us, we were first" factor..

If all Bernie supporters were Reddit-like such as Earl no one could stand them. Thankfully they aren't..

Bernie lost no matter how you want to count votes/delegates. Sorry he's not as popular or electable as you deluded yourself into believing.

That's not why he is losing, but looking at total votes in a primary is absolutely meaningless


And Clinton hasn't won yet, a lot can still happen, remember that RFK was assassinated in June in California

It only seems like sports because a bunch of people are complaining about the rules and being poor sports about the current political process which has essentially been the same for years. We tried to tell you it was over months ago, but you wouldn't listen.

LOL whatever man. You said the bottom was falling out for Clinton after Bernie won a few inconsequential states in a row. You and other Bernie Babies worshiped him and refused to listen to any logic. Time to wake the fuck up and get with program.

these are words from a rapid Bernie supporter, and you're calling me an adolescent for using a term coined for people exactly like him? k

If someone could post some type of crying Jordan meme for Bernie, I'd call it a night for TSB.

I don't see what your point is, other than the fact that Hillary Clinton made a statement, similar to the second sentence you quoted, about Barack Obama in 2008.

My point was that your childish name-calling isn't going to attract any fence-sitters to Hillary Clinton's candidacy.

Oof, Bernie got frogstomped in NJ. Didn't see that big a margin of victory for Clinton coming. Pretty good day for Clinton overall. Still don't like the media's coverage and the "oh she's won already" stuff that was on every station on Monday, but I doubt very much that it would have mattered.

She's going in pretty weak overall, but she's got a legit claim on the nomination now. Bernie should have been more aggressive from the outset. Those early big losses really cost him.

pretty hilarious that the excuse for a rabid base not showing up to vote for their favorite candidate is the AP calling the primary for Clinton the night before California

and given who she's going up against in the general, I don't think she's going in weak at all

A buddy ofine worked phones for bernie and tried to call supporterd to remind them to go vote today and most of the people didnt realize the primary was still happening since hillary was already the nominee. A lot of people even thought it was hillary vs trump today. Cant blame them really.

Wait wait wait, the major news media puts out a story the day before the biggest primary election that one candidate already won, thus giving the other one's supporters a reason not to vote?

Shocker!

The story was generated by the Clinton campaign and pushed to the media last week.

But remember, it's the Democratic Party.

You know, like, democracy?

Yeah, you absolutely can blame them. It's probably for the best that people this fucking stupid didn't get out and vote.

I honestly have very little pity, sympathy, or empathy for people like that. Every year I'm more and more convinced that we should be making it harder to vote, not easier.

How fucking far removed from the process does one have to be to think that it was Clinton versus Trump in CA. I'm surprised those people remember they need to breathe let alone vote.

In addition to the various other reasons why someone may not want to vote for her, it could possibly be the difference between someone holding their nose at the ballot box and skipping the presidential portion of their ballot altogether.

UJustWait84 already stated that he voted for Hillary over Bernie in the California primary because of his impression of Bernie Supporters' online behavior. It's not going to be the sole factor in someone's decision, but it could be a factor.

i love the blaming of the AP.

the bernie folks have been turning out be the 10's of thousands for rallies. he brags about the millions of small donations that have funded his campaign. for better or worse, they are by far the most...passionate...supporters I've come across this election.

and then they decide to stay home because of a newspaper story? foh.

furthermore, the argument you're making against the AP calling it the day before is an argument against freedom of press. the AP had confirmed that there were enough delegates to put clinton past the mark. to not run the story would be journalistic malfeasance. you're essentially saying that they should spike a story for the benefit of sanders, which is completely bullshit.

^^ yep. pretty hilarious that the Bernie mantra of "don't believe the mainstream media" was huge motivator all throughout the primaries, yet suddenly, on the day that it probably mattered the most, the mantra supposedly didn't mean anything and Sanders supporters finally faced the music and didn't bother to show up to the polls.

furthermore, there were other important things to vote for on the ballot yesterday (at least in CA), so people should have still gone to the polls anyway to vote if they really cared about politics.

the reality is that a lot of Bernie Bros are not only delusional, they're stupid and lazy too. Earl's personal anecdote is a perfect reflection of this.

from 538:

Quote :
"Clinton’s victory was larger than most public pollsters anticipated. Why? It’s not entirely clear, though it’s not because Sanders’s voters didn’t come out to vote once news organizations called Clinton the presumptive nominee on Monday night. In fact, it seems pollsters missed Clinton’s large early voting advantage. The illustrious Field Poll, for instance, had Clinton ahead by only 7 percentage points among those who had cast a ballot by late May, which was clearly too low. A large exit poll of voters who had cast their ballot by mail as of June 4, conducted by Sextant Strategies & Research, had her up only 12 percentage points, which again was far too low.

What is clear is that Clinton did very well across the state. She is leading in all the major population centers, including Alameda County (Oakland), Los Angeles County, Orange County (Anaheim), Sacramento County, San Diego County, San Francisco County and Santa Clara County (San Jose and Silicon Valley). Clinton’s advantage in all those places was about 10 percentage points or greater. The few counties where Sanders was ahead had much smaller populations."


oh wait, they're part of the big, bad, corporate media too. even though they've successfully called pretty much every single contest. haha

The way the party leadership has acted through this cluster has made me ashamed to be a member of this party.

I would never vote for Trump, but Hillary will have to work for my vote. The Democratic Party will also have to work to keep my affiliation. The first step will have to be the removal of Debbie Wazzername.

I do find it quite funny that noted supporters of the Progressive agenda Breitbart has taken up for Bernie. Almost like they are trying to play to the emotions of a certain group of people..
