2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why Berniacs Won't Quit [View all]
The Democratic Convention is July 25th-28th. Nobody will be the Democratic nominee until delegates cast their vote and an announcement is made about the results of the vote.
Them's the rules. That's how our Democratic primary system works.
Chris Matthews can call the primary for Hillary on June 7th, but Chris Matthews opinion is not recognized by the Democratic party. Obama, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden can call the primary for Hillary on June 7th, but Hillary will still not be the Democratic nominee.
Them's the rules.
