"I will be the nominee for my party," she told CNN in an interview. "That is already done, in effect. There is no way that I won't be."

1. I think she said the same during the Obama race

2. It's been done for weeks

Sanders wants Trump to win and destroy the country and everyone in it. Just like Nader did in 2000.

10. There you go, cutting excuses for Bush's election fraud

Seems to be a hobby for Clinton supporters. I wonder why.

3. She and her supporters have been claiming this

since the Iowa caucus.

Hardly late breaking news.

5. It is done. It was done before I voted in NY.

The remaining primaries go on but it is done.

8. Its not done

13. Most likely the OP did this to create flame bait for Hillary suggesting such a thing.

When Sanders says it will be a contested convention, and he will win, he is given a free pass

Hillary based her response on the actual pledged delegate count, that pledged delegates are awarded on a proportional basis, and in order for Sanders to the win the primary, he will have to win the remianing primaries by 30%. Close does not count.

The other fact, regardless of what his campaign is saying is that the Super Delegates will go to the candidate who has the most pledged delegates.

This OP is also not LBN, and belongs in General Discussion rimaries

Of course that would lose the visibility of the flamebait the OP wishes to create in my view

6. She and her supporters will keep campaigning against him well into October, though

7. Gosh, well good luck in November

9. Because She Is Going To Drop Out, Right?

11. It's been over for eight years.

Her opponent suggested primaring her boss in 2012.

12. Does this really belong in LBN? I mean sure shes leading Bernie by a huge

margin which from what I have read he wont be able to counter now but that doesnt mean this post belongs here since its just her opinion.
