The General Election Won't Start Until the Democratic Party decides who to run for President. [View all]

The GE doesn't begin until the Democratic Party decides who it wants to run for President and Vice-President.

That's up in the air since neither Hillary nor Bernie can win the 2,383 pledged delegates they need to secure the nomination before the convention.

It will be a contested convention.

Any nonsense about a "presumed" Democratic nominee in the mass corporate media is pure bull shit and need not be repeated here.

Pledged delegate counts are facts and the facts prove Hillary Clinton will not become the nominee before the convention.

She might be elected the nominee at the convention and so might Bernie, but not before it!

CASE CLOSED.
