Turn out the lights, the party's over

[left-of-center2012]

Rachel Maddow reported tonight that NBC News has declared Hillary Clinton the "presumptive Democratic nominee".
Rachel then followed that up with an interview with HRC, asking her penetrating questions like:
"Are you puzzled by Bernie Sanders decision to not drop out of the race by now?"

I'm guessing this was done tonight to cut down on voter turn out tomorrow.
No need risking a Bernie win in California!

[Depaysement]

1. Nominee? Here's my answer

[Jester Messiah]

10. Not ever. n/t

[pangaia]

2. Many curtains conceal the wizard..

Pull one back,, there's another, and another... that's why it is called the wizard.

[JudyM]

16. We need a gif of Bernie as Toto pulling back the curtain... And all those buttons and levers the

Wizard is madly pushing and pulling, there are so many of them...

[pangaia]

21. OH YEAH !!! That would be super.

With Hillary back there.. of course we can only do that for another 13 hours or so.

After that, Just "Toto."

3. This is so staged. Now, California which was to be an important state, is meaningless.

[JudyM]

17. My biggest hope. She will deserve it, but she will also blame her loss on that very assumption.

[hopemountain]

18. yes. this is the backfire i'm hoping for

please let it be so.

4. She cut into her wall to wall coverage of The Donald (TM) for this?

6. Night before CA primary !

"Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
Oh, and stay home tomorrow - no need to vote."

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. So sick of these anti-Bernie tactics... gonna backfire BIG TIME!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Pharaoh]

7. "Are you puzzled by Bernie Sanders decision to not drop out of the race by now?"

And what was her answer?

[left-of-center2012]

15. "what was her answer?"

Something about how she had dropped out in 2008 and supported Obama.

[TDale313]

8. Yeah, fuck this shit.

Obvious attempt to suppress voter turnout tomorrow. Hopefully people will be so disgusted they turn out in huge numbers anyway.

[SmittynMo]

9. HRC and the DNC

have played this one well. It's all fixed and corrupt, and they proved it. If it was going to happen for us liberal democrats, this was it. The right person was in there. The fact that we will lose and how it all went down, has convinced me that we are no longer a democratic society. How sad.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

12. I was watching when Chris Hayes made that announcement.

I got so angry at such a BLATANT -- FUCKING BLATANT -- attempt to influence tomorrow's primaries that I didn't know what to do with myself. FUCK THAT SHIT.

I smell Wasserman-Schultz all over this.

If I ever had any thought of remaining a registered Democrat after this election season I think it has been distinguished. Thoroughly.

[left-of-center2012]

14. "I smell Wasserman-Schultz all over this"

I thought the same thing.
Somewhere she's laughing her ass off at Bernie for supporting her opponent!

[floppyboo]

13. This is going to spread like wildfire at the SF rally tonight! You want pitch forks?

What a silly transparent act! Surely they have an idea of what the reaction will be -

OR

Maybe they are counting exactly on that - some staged riot like shit that they paid the anarchists to act out at the G8's.

I don't like this one little bit.

[hopemountain]

19. berners in new york are holding a huge protest rally tonight

at washington square(?)

[LovingA2andMI]

20. Rachel Who?

Stop watching that channel and that woman MONTHS ago. There are many other places available to receive real news.

22. HRC's Official Position Was And Is That California Is Meaningless

Maddow regurgitated the talking point.
