Nate Silver explains that Hillary Clinton Will Be Nominated Because More Democrats Are Voting For Her. Actually, as I pasted that link in, I noticed that the headline on Silver's site suggests he's predicting that but the URL link to the article adds "according to AP," referring to the Associated Press announcement yesterday. Seems like it's right either way.
I had a small preference for Bernie Sanders but I'm fine with Hillary, I think she'll clobber Trump (though not without periods when it might appear otherwise) and I'm glad it's over. Damn glad. Sanders fought a good fight and he did much to push his newly-joined party and its nominee farther to the left where they oughta be. If he fights on or contests his victory, he's going to do damage to the Democratic Party and to his own reputation because he's essentially pressuring Superdelegates to overturn the popular vote. That ain't gonna happen, nor should it.
And Bernie will have picked a bad week to look like a spoiler in his own party. Donald Trump's behavior this past week has been so overtly racist that even prominent Republicans who endorsed him last week are calling on him to retract and apologize. It seems even more important than ever that this guy not make it into the White House. John Judis explains why Sanders needs to concede and throw his support behind the presumptive nominee.
But like I said, I'm just glad this part of it is over. Now we just have to get through the next 153 days.
