1. I believe, and anyone please correct me if I am wrong, that what she did

was essentially say, "Oh, screw the roll call. We can all agree that he is the candidate, can't we?" She did it in the middle of the count, which was basically saying, "I trust that this is so and we don't have to go through the rest of this process and let's get behind him."

Bernie said the same, but he said it after the entire roll call was done.

I would imagine that was something that both camps agreed to, because some of the Bernie people had been saying that they wouldn't accept his loss till the roll call proved it.

On some sites *ahem* there were people who were still certain that Bernie would win the roll call and Hillary would not allow it to happen because she knew that he would win it. And, you know, she was being dastardly and stuff.

I know. I know.
