Although the most recent round of Democratic primaries was held yesterday, perhaps the most interesting news was the Associated Press’s report – a full day earlier – that Hillary had alreadymagically netted all the delegates she needed to finalize her coronation as Democratic presidential nominee.
The news came as a stunning surprise to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, all of whom share a charming naivete about how primary elections, the Clintons, the media, and the Democratic Machine work. There’s even reasonably compelling evidence that the AP story was created in collusion with Hillary’s campaign machine days earlier and specifically released just before the California primary to do the greatest possible amount of damage to the morale of Bernie’s coterie of socialist sycophants.
