Californians Should Reject the Networks Attempts to Minimize Their Votes [View all]

The idea that they will declare Hillary the nominee before the polls close in California is BS! We know they have been for her from the beginning, but they should stop working hard to discourage people from voting. I would like to remind everyone in California that NO ONE IS THE NOMINEE until the vote takes place on tne convention floor in July!
