NO ONE IS EVER THE NOMINEE UNTIL THE CONVENTION. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #35
You are correct. She is the presumptive nominee, apcalc Jun 2016 #55
"59 percent" TwilightZone Jun 2016 #24
That is NOT reality, that is SPIN from a Bernie surrogates a few weeks ago. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #34

It's toooooo late gollygee Jun 2016 #32
Robert Reich, a Bernie supporter, takes it seriously One of the 99 Jun 2016 #36
Hillary is still not the nominee. Anyone serious about "not Trump" should push for Bernie pdsimdars Jun 2016 #44
I am not convinced Sanders would beat Trump. apcalc Jun 2016 #56
Sanders can not beat Trump. He could not get enough Dems on board. leftofcool Jun 2016 #60
Isn't it interesting that they automatically assume that all the HRC supporters would switch? KitSileya Jun 2016 #109
Feel the math. One of the 99 Jun 2016 #95

And out of the three last candidates, the one in last place, with less votes was Sanders. lunamagica Jun 2016 #115
Actually I hate to tell you this pinebox Jun 2016 #118
If what you say is true, then Sanders is the weakest candidate of all lunamagica Jun 2016 #119
Wrong. pinebox Jun 2016 #121
Polls predicting an event five months away? Please. BTW, those polls are already changing lunamagica Jun 2016 #122

Once again, she is NOT under investigation. apcalc Jun 2016 #51
that is simply not true, why do people insist on pushing this lie? AntiBank Jun 2016 #72
Because the FBI has said so at least 5 times leftofcool Jun 2016 #77
erm no. Plus White House said it was a criminal investigation too AntiBank Jun 2016 #78
The FBI is investigating the way material is classified leftofcool Jun 2016 #81
lolol AntiBank Jun 2016 #82
Hillary is under an FBI investigation. This is a FACT. pinebox Jun 2016 #86
Yes but unless the FBI recommends indicting Hillary & it pains me 2 say as a Bernie supporter, she WILL be our nominee. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2016 #103

Those over 60, or thereabouts (the young!) have been watching these 'games' unfold for decades slipslidingaway Jun 2016 #67
At what point do you acknowledge there currently is no other path? randome Jun 2016 #80
Yes, Hillary has the nomination sewn up, I'll concede that... but only if the FBI elects NOT to indict. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2016 #106
The FBI neither indicts, okasha Jun 2016 #133
You're right, the FBI does not indict people, but I thought it did recommend indictments to DOJ, which makes the decision. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2016 #135
It gathers information and submits it to to the DoJ. okasha Jun 2016 #136
