2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary will not "clinch" the nomination unless Bernie drops out or the convention floor vote [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)5. Just like obama didn't clinch the general election until the electoral college voted.
If Bernie refuses to admit he lost, it will be due to ego and character defects, not because there is a question of who will be the nominee.
Team player, or most pathetic sore loser in primary history, his choice.
His dead end supporters will have to process their grief somewhere else after June 14, while the rest of the world moves on.

Not true. He clinched when he had both the pledged delegate win and overall delegate win.

You're clearly confusing "clinching" with "winning." She'll clinch next week, then win @ convention.
