LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The date was 6/6/16, and the Associated Press dubbed Hillary Clinton the winner of the Democratic presidential nomination contest. This sorcery is the result of the AP's common-core approach to math, more commonly known as "counting chickens before they hatch."
In order to win the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton needs 2,383 votes total. The votes can come from pledged delegates and superdelegates.
Pledged delegates are mostly awarded proportionally based on the popular vote in each state. Superdelegates are party insiders who are allowed to cast an independent vote regardless of how each state votes. Before today, Clinton has gained 1,812 pledged delegates which is absolutely not enough to win the nomination outright. However, the Associated Press has added in the superdelegates, of which 571 have pledged to support her --get this, according to an AP survery.
That's right, the big AP news is based on their survey. Not actual votes, but a straw poll. How about a *slow clap* for great journalism!
The problem is that the superdelegates, regardless of pledges, can change their vote, and they don't vote until the party's convention in July.
In fact, neither Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders can win the Democratic nomination based on pledged delegates, their race has been too close. Unless one candidate drops out, a contested convention in July is a certainty.
The AP will likely get away with their scoop, more commonly known as a lie, because Clinton is virtually certain to be the nominee. And the AP did cover itself by explaining that they were adding superdelegates to Clinton's total. However, the story has the effect of making it appear that Clinton is the outright winner, which she is absolutely not.
There are pitfalls which could sabotage Clinton's sweet superdelegate support before the convention. Namely, the Clinton Crime Family's many scandals could come to public light. A former Secret ServiceĀ agent has already penned a tell-all, "Crisis of Character" which slams Clinton's lack of integrity and volatile temperament. The book hasn't been released yet (out June 26), but is already an Amazon top seller.
And there's the little matter of a year long FBI investigation that mysteriously has former staff pleading the fifth. Obviously, the Clinton camp is terrified of indictment.
Nobody can say what the FBI will recommend, or if an indictment will follow. It's impossible to tell what scandal could rock the Clinton campaign, if any. And that's the point.
By calling the race for Clinton when the truth just ain't so, AP is misleading the public. Hillary Clinton is no more inevitable than Bernie Sanders at this point.
Today, California votes and that vote will be seen by Democrats as a referendum on Clinton's candidacy. If Sanders wins, it will demonstrate that she is the weakest of all candidates, losing the nation's most populous state to an outright socialist!
If there's any good to come of this, it's that these shenanigans reveal the Democrat's machine for the corrupt device that it is, and will hopefully drive voters to cast more sensible votes for conservative candidates who hold values, not power, more dear.
