2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Skinner: DU switches to general election mode on June 16, 2016 [View all]Lithos
(26,403 posts)Ok, even *if* or *when* HRC gets the delegate total, there is still going to be a *LOT* of interplay at the convention where the DNC is working to open up several key platform planks to Bernie Sanders's campaign. There is also quite a bit of down play into other races where both Hillary and Bernie have put stakes into various candidates. The obvious one being Wasserman Schultz.
Given how the conversation has gone here at DU, I'm afraid that such a unilateral declaration this early *will* have a chilling effect on these discussions.
I'm also sad that the proclamation was given in a forum where only the Admins and a single poster can reply. Not sure that any response here, even those which might be factual, will be noted or commented on by the Admins.
