Turn out the lights, the party's over [View all]

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!
