Clinton Hits 'Magic Number' of Delegates to Clinch Nomination

Unlikely, especially after Sanders endorses Clinton in the next few weeks and the bump Trump gets from engaging a divided opposition recedes.

Unlikely, on top of the fact that Clinton is the first presidential nominee under an active criminal investigation.

Ah yes! The mythical indictment thats always just around the corner! Also no she isn't, lol. There is a general FBI inquiry about her servers which is not the same as a criminal investigation, nor is it specifically directed at her person. That would be another extremely unlikely step.

What we know about the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails | PolitiFact (By Lauren Carroll on Thursday, May 12th, 2016 at 6:01 p.m. [Not even a month ago])

"We don’t do these because we’re curious," said Ellen Glasser, a retired FBI special agent who worked on cases regarding mishandled classified information. "There’s a potential that a criminal violation took place."

But of course, Clinton’s actions are clearly front-and-center in the FBI investigation. Based on her knowledge of how classified information mishandling cases proceed, and her understanding of public reports about Clinton’s role in the email setup, Glasser said the FBI is very likely looking at Clinton specifically.

Hillary Clinton Is Under Investigation By The FBI For More Than E-Mail: If Elected, Could She Be Impeached?
FBI: Yes, Our Probe Into Hillary's Email Scheme is a Criminal Investigation - Guy Benson

I don't think you quite understand what the FBI is, or what it is there for.

I don't understand what you're saying. Are you saying that you know ahead of time what a hostile takeover would imply? Can you see into the future?

What I'm saying is that the Bernie movement needs to be consistent about about what it is and what it aspires to achieve. If it's a democratic movement, it has to concede defeat and it also has to play by democratic rules. If it's a revolutionary movement, it needs to come to terms with its identity and conduct itself accordingly, keeping in mind that revolutionary movements are inherently anti-democratic.

These guys have no idea what they're talking about. They overestimated their strength and lost to Hillary. It happens. In 2008, Hillary overestimated her strength and lost to Obama. Eventually, they'll come along. Bernie Sanders has no ****ing clue what he's talking about. We don't need European styled democratic socialism. We don't need vulture capitalism like Trump either. Hillary is far more of a realist than either of these buffoons put together.

I disagree with your dismissal of European democratic socialism, but I agree that it can never work in the U.S of today. More importantly, I agree that Hillary, and the democratic establishment behind her, is the most realistic candidate, regardless of her personal virtues. Progressives grossly overestimate their strength and the liberalism of the U.S and grossly underestimate the conservatism of the country. They deride the democratic establishment when it treads carefully and strives for prudent change that doesn't meet their expectations, and when the party tells them it's awaiting demographic shift, they turn their heads and accuse democrats of cowardice.

Well that's embarrassing for you.

Not embarrassing for me at all. The fact Clinton won California makes her campaigns desire to lock up additional super delegates all the more irrational. What's embarrassing, in my view, is any individual who supports this despicable woman for the highest office in your country. But then, liberals are well known for lacking the shame gene.
