But Trump might declare himself winner of GE between his non-stop racist rants.

She'll say something like she's so in tune with racial inequality that she allowed the first black President to take her place at the desk in the Oval Office in order to make up for racial mistreatment in the past.

Why, I hear tell she plays scratch golf and may be the next Formula One champion.

Well...the latter if she ever gets a driver's license.

Adaptive.
She can become whatever the narrative and location needs her to be.
Like a cuddle-fish.

But I do understand your need to try and generate new, hypothetical, manufactured outrages ... after all, there's not very much time left and the old outrages just aren't working.

After she wins states with a majority of electoral votes even though you and some Sanders supporters presumably will insist that she and the media are declaring victory prematurely because the electoral college hasn't voted yet

Hillary Clinton is the presumptive Democratic nominee. Everyone will continue to wonder out loud what Sanders is angling for.

Sanders will announce that he has a hard road ahead, but that he will be the nominee after he wins over the super delegates. He will continue to insist that the people he used to refer to as establishment elitists undo the will of the voters.

He will alternately insist that he is entitled to super delegate votes based on bizarre bernified mathematical calculations. He will continue to whine that the system is rigged to give the person with the most votes the nomination.

He will be abandoned by Weaver because there is no more money to be made. Internationalists who co-opted his campaign will move on to co-opt the next faddish cause. The few remaining surrogates like Susan Sarandon will continue to make Sanders look worse and worse.

Any more questions?
