super delegates do not vote until Convention. While she may win enough delegates there, every SD can change their mind up to the time of the vote. Pledged delegates do not. Neither Bernie or Hillary will clinch prior to July.

MSM twist. You can presume she will be the nominee, but declaring that she has clinched is false and why journalists should actually have journalism degrees and not marketing degrees.

But that doesn't mean the MSM or even the Party will not immediately announce that she is the presumptive nominee. It's all about discouraging those who support Bernie or just don't like Hillary. They are intentionally trying to speed us along to the acceptance phase of the grieving process.

AND IT SUCKS! BIG TIME!

Bernie or Bust!
