Yup. AP called WHEN PUERTO RICO'S DELEGATES PUT HER OVER. Hortensis Jun 2016 #23

NO THEY DID NOT PUT HER OVER. She has not reached 2383 delegates. senz Jun 2016 #67

ha!!!!!! this is a coordinated coronation .so yes, wendylaroux Jun 2016 #5

you can get a Yahken Amen! snooper2 Jun 2016 #11

I'd be inclined to believe that the AP gave the HRC campaign a heads-up just moments before ... NurseJackie Jun 2016 #6

Of course the fly in your belief ointment would be the DATE. -nt NorthCarolina Jun 2016 #7

Well then, I guess they planned it all along! Hillary can do ANYTHING! The media ... NurseJackie Jun 2016 #9

I think it is obvious Marrah_G Jun 2016 #8

Seems very planned. Let's just see if we can disenfranchise California, where things look best for highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #10

What reason do you have to think things look so great for Bernie in CA? Lord Magus Jun 2016 #50

No...only in Bernie-land would people believe such nonsense. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #12

⬆⬆⬆ THIS ⬆⬆⬆ NurseJackie Jun 2016 #18

Hmmm...that sounds too reasonable an answer. Rex Jun 2016 #34

So, the theory is they used planning and had something ready for when it happened? Someone should FSogol Jun 2016 #44

Bingo! It is as if HRC has been planning to become POTUS or something for the past 8 years! Rex Jun 2016 #62

Why label it "secret win" if it was no secret? You and I have been around too long berni_mccoy Jun 2016 #40

The graphic created by the campaign was secret. Skinner Jun 2016 #41

Speculation or first hand knowledge? berni_mccoy Jun 2016 #42

I said above that I think this is a more likely explanation. (nt) Skinner Jun 2016 #43

I saw that but the way you stated your response to me sounded as if you knew. berni_mccoy Jun 2016 #45

+1 JoePhilly Jun 2016 #22

Totally the case around here. All of the Sanders people I know are more motivated than ever to vote eastwestdem Jun 2016 #29

No way! HRC is THAT powerful! She controls the Internets too! Rex Jun 2016 #35

lol, that's actually a much better theory than most of the ones floating around here. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #38
