The appearance of the supers deciding the election will make unity that much more difficult. Bad move.

I'm proud of Sec. Clinton and her campaign, and as the father of daughters I am thrilled.

I'm with her.

Tomorrow night, the numbers will be much, much higher. It's over for Bernie, and he knows it, too.

and that Team Hillary had asked them to hold off until Wednesday. Obviously, they do not want to depress voter turnout in CA.

No state has voted in weeks. A bunch of states are voting tomorrow. Why not wait another 24 hours? It's because the establishment media is worried she will have a weak showing tomorrow. All I'm saying is we waited all this time. What's another 24 hours? Let those people vote and don't tell them they don't count.

She has a YUGE celebration planned for tomorrow in Brooklyn. She wants NJ and CA voters to vote. She would prefer to be put over the top by hundreds of pledged delegates.

I think this is all about news organizations wanting to get a story out first. AP is doing what Faux did when they declared Bush president ahead of all the votes being counted.
