17. I am just coming to ... without

my coffee yet ... so I mangled that sentence somewhat. But I'm glad that the meaning came through, Cha.

In spite of my gut feeling that he wouldn't, I WAS giving him the benefit of the doubt. I was trying to be good and upbeat and "unifying."

Of course, he still has to make his great announcement tomorrow night.

But frankly, I don't even care what he says or does any more. Hillary has just won DC by a landslide. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2016/jun/14/live-primary-results-track-votes-washington-dc

While the counting in CA continues, as of yesterday, June 14 at 6:38 pm, Hillary is STILL ahead by 11.1% with 2,360,184 votes to Sanders with 1,887,120. http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/president/party/democratic/ It is also worth noting that in addition to the GOP, whose candidates still continue to receive votes in the continued counting, there are four other political parties with candidates who are still receiving votes as well: the American Independent Party, the Green Party (Jill Stein leads), the Libertarian Party (Gary Johnson leads), and the Peace and Freedom Party.

None of the CA counties has reported "CCC" (county canvass complete) yet and final certification of the CA vote isn't due before July 8. But the likelihood of Hillary's win last week being overturned is next to nil, despite cockamamie theories floating about from some who are desperate. http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/status/

The people have spoken - quite clearly and by millions of votes more - and "the people" want Hillary to be the Dem nominee.

One can moan and whine all one wants about Dems and DNC processes and decisions, but the fact in the final analysis is that if one believes in democracy at all, then the majority of voters in the Dem primary/caucus season have chosen Hillary.

Period. Point final.
