2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Functionally, Clinton will clinch the nomination on June 7. That's just reality [View all]highprincipleswork
(3,111 posts)no more reality than some other realities, one of which is that Bernie has promised to take this to the convention and I truly hope that he does.
There are too many people behind him, and nobody is likely to have the majority of pledged delegates, and one could say that is another equally strong reality.
I believe all these diatribes about it "being over" are just nervousness in action. And there is plenty to be nervous about.
Bernie's success.
The possibility Bernie will still pull out major victories.
The FBI investigation and its effect on things, whether or not there are indictments.
Bringing the Party together, hopefully under the Progressive policies discussed so far and that are a winner this year for the majority of American citizens.
Nervousness is never a good sign of reality.
