Look at the margins though. Hillary is by no means a clear choice.

But it isn't. The pledged delegate count is still pretty close with many populous states left to come.

Now, if you want to say that it's looking VERY good for Hillary, I agree.

She's up over 300 - 350 pledged delegates at this point and Brunhilda is in the wings getting ready for her solo.

He's toast. If Bernie really wants to help the country he will ditch this egotistical trip he's on (it's getting to be the other side of the Trump coin), come out in support of Hillary, and tell all his followers who are threatening to stay home if he's not the nominee that they need to quit being such fucking idiots and get behind Hillary as well.

We are on the verge of having a 5-4 progressive leaning SCOTUS. Another 4 years of Democratic control of the executive branch and it will be 6-3, if not even better. A progressive high court for the next quarter century will provide the kind of real change in the lives of the American people that Barack Obama or Bernie Sanders would not be able to provide if they had 4 terms to do it. Bernie knows it and he needs to stop stroking his pathetic ego and just do it. He got his message out. That's all he was ever going to accomplish anyway.

Then again, he's not a democrat, doesn't want to be a democrat, and has looked down his nose at his democratic colleagues since he walked into the US Senate. So maybe it's too much to ask.

Ginger Rogers could be as good, backward, and in heels.

There are still about 2,400 delegates up for grabs. Hillary needs about 1/3 of them to lock it up..... if the Superdelegates maintain faith on the first ballot.

Missouri isn't really over yet. Hillary's lead is less than 2,000 votes with 99% reporting but absentee ballots not included. Illinois is also close but less likely to change.
