AP declares Clinton winner of Democratic primary

[libertyjam]

primaries are not over and AP, NYTimes, et al set out influencing the democrat primary. Cannot even quote the stories, it is too disgusting.

not to mention Puerto Rico voting disenfranchisement (Clinton rigged primary),

Puerto Rico explained: It was a rigged primary today in Puerto Rico. Our volunteers were not let access to the prisons. There was no Bernie representation. As per one of our island main newspapers, a 100% of their votes went to Killary. They posted a few stories about how the Clintons had managed to get them to vote for her with promises and offerings that benefited them big time. About the rest of the votes: the leaders of the Clinton campaign in Puerto Rico are also as corrupt as them, so it happened that they also managed to not have not even one of our volunteers registered when ALL of them had submitted their registration forms ON TIME. They had to get a lawyer. Since the lines were so long and the heat was in many places unbearable, people started leaving, specially the elder ones. I had a few friends who stayed in line for hours, but not everyone who got there got to vote. It is sad that this system is so corrupt. I feel impotent, angry, disappointed. It's like fighting with evil ghosts. It's exhausting. ‪#‎California‬ our hopes are in you. Let's keep feeling the BERN! See you in Philly!

millions of Ca. voters may be thrown out if they vote for Sanders and don't have the correct ballot, if Bernie's name is not (pre)printed on the ballot it will not count.

From the Bern Report:

INFORM VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA THAT IF THEY ARE NO PARTY PREFERENCE (NPP) THEY NEED A CROSSOVER BALLOT.
There's, naturally, a fair amount of crap going on in California. Not surprising, but still an outrage. Attorneys are on top of some of it, though how much difference it will make come voting day, who knows.
We've seen and heard reports of registrations changed or not changed, polling places changes, and closed, poll workers trained to give out provisional ballots instead of crossovers, and so on. I am even hearing that CA "is expected" to RUN OUT OF ballots (which happened in Maricopa County in Arizona in March). Just many today and stooges have been installed in disruptive positions i key states like this? ell, never mind—we can't change that now; all we can do is turn out a massive information campaign of our own to overcome it.
If we could just focus on ONE ISSUE, right now, it should be this: No Party Preference (NPP) voters need to know that Bernie's name will NOT be on their ballot; they will have to get a CROSSOVER BALLOT at early vote location or polling place. They can exchange their ballot for a Democratic/crossover ballot on voting day.

If everyone posted this to their timeline and reached just ONE uninformed NPP voter, it would increase valid votes by YUGGGE NUMBERS!

Being telling you American elections are the world's biggest fraud. Why you think clowns like the Bush family and Clintons , Kerry's family Marco Rubios, McCain's are allowed to win and run a general presidential elections?

[tod evans]

Yawn.

[libertythor]

I have known about this since 1996 when Pat Buchanan was suddenly ignored completely by the media after the South Carolina and Arizona primaries and Bob Dole treated as the presumptive nominee. The media simply quit covering the race altogether despite there still being about 40 states left.

[Ender]

I have known about this since the 90s.

I was a little kid, then. Still as a young kid in 2001, I knew something wasn't right about the whole 9/11 thing. When I heard this guy on the radio say that no one had read the Patriot Act, I knew my gut instincts were correct. The guy's name was Ron Paul.

AP rubs it in: Sanders supporters angry as Clinton wins sufficient backing

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bernie Sanders assured his outraged supporters that he intends to win Tuesday's primary in California and beyond as Hillary Clinton secured the commitments of enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Campaigning in San Francisco Monday, Sanders declined to speculate to reporters about what a poor showing in Tuesday's primaries might mean to his presidential campaign. "Let me just talk to you after the primary here in California where we hope to win. Let's assess where we are after tomorrow," he said.

Hours later, at an evening rally at Crissy Field in the Presidio, Sanders steered clear of reports from The Associated Press and multiple television networks that Clinton had reached the 2,383 delegates needed to become the presumptive Democratic nominee. She has 1,812 pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, and the support of 571 superdelegates.

Sanders' supporters expressed disappointment that the calls were made before California's primary and urged the senator to continue on despite the pronouncements.


"We're going to keep fighting until the last vote is counted," said Kristen Elliott, a Sanders' supporter from San Francisco who attended the rally.

Said another attendee, Patrick Bryant of San Francisco: "It's what bookies do. They call fights before they're over."

He said the campaign's job is to convince the superdelegates that the Vermont senator is "by far the strongest candidate against Donald Trump." He said calling the Democratic contest before superdelegates formally vote at the convention was a "rush to judgment."

Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Clinton's support was dependent upon superdelegates who could still change their minds between now and the July convention.

Sanders' tone was more subdued before reporters after saying over the weekend that the Democratic convention would be contested if no one wins the nomination based solely on delegates awarded in the primaries and caucuses. Sanders also faced new questions about the future of his campaign amid reports that President Barack Obama was readying an endorsement of Clinton.

Sanders and Clinton are competing in contests in six states on Tuesday, headlined by California, the nation's largest state, offering 475 pledged delegates. Clinton, a former New York senator, is heavily favored in Tuesday's New Jersey primary and winning a share of the state's 142 pledged delegates would likely put her over the top.

Obama, who bested Clinton in 2008 during her first bid for the Democratic nomination, is preparing to formally endorse her and start aggressively making the case against Trump. White House officials said the announcement could come within days, although not before Tuesday's elections.

Obama called Sanders on Sunday as he campaigned in California, a Democrat familiar with the call told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the private conversation, and would not reveal any details about it.

Asked by reporters in San Francisco if he had talked to Obama, Sanders demurred. "I have spoken to President Obama many, many times about many issues, and I really think it's not appropriate to talk about my discussions with the president," he said. "I try to keep that private."

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, who has won 20 states and pushed the heavily favored Clinton for the nomination, has outlined plans to influence the party platform and try to persuade superdelegates that he would fare better than Clinton against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Sanders has previously said that Clinton should not be deemed the party's nominee because she would be relying on superdelegates — party officials and elected leaders — who do not actually vote until the Democratic National Convention.

But he did not make that case to reporters Monday, instead focusing on Tuesday's outcome. Rallying supporters at City College of San Francisco's Mission Center, Sanders said Clinton's voters were more reliable and he would need a large turnout among recently registered voters, independents and young people.

While Clinton has been in the driver's seat for the nomination for weeks, a victory by the front-runner in California would give Sanders much less leverage as he seeks to sway superdelegates.

Sanders has campaigned intensively in California for more than two weeks straight, blanketing the state with rallies and events in 34 cities aimed at talking directly to thousands of voters at a time.

He capped the day with a concert rally featuring singer Dave Matthews and then was traveling to Los Angeles on Tuesday for the primary. Sanders said he would return home to Vermont on Wednesday.

Couldn't disagree more. With Bernie, we are Venezuela and there's no going back from that.

Sounds legit....

[AZJoe]

And what is this "guaranteed" result based on exactly?

It is based on Killery's entire warmongering history, but just in case anyone has been living under a rock for the past 30 years, here are a few recent Cliff Notes to bring one up to speed on Hitlery Clinton:

Hillary Embraces Role as War Candidate
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/06/...trial-complex/

Her support for the invasion of Iraq … the disaster she wrought in Libya … her contribution to pursuing endless death and destruction in the Middle East. …

As Secretary of State, she blocked diplomacy that would have prevented or ended conflict, most notoriously concerning Libya …

Hillary Clinton is quite simply catering to the military-industrial complex, as she has been doing throughout her career. She is catering to the arms industry, which needs to keep the American people scared of various “threats” in order to continue draining the nation’s wealth into their profitable enterprises. …

In reality, such “national-security-minded” leaders as Dick Cheney and Clinton herself have led the United States into wars that create chaos, inspire enemies and endanger everybody’s national security. Despite the geographically safe position of the United States, it is that bipartisan War Party that has created genuine threats to U.S. national security by prodding the hornets’ nest of religious fanaticism in the Middle East and provoking nuclear-armed Russia by aggressive military exercises right up to its borders.

The basis of Hillary Clinton’s world view is that notorious “American exceptionalism” which Obama has also celebrated. If we don’t rule the world … She clearly cannot conceive of dealing respectfully with other nations. … they must be brought to heel. … “exceptionalism” means acting above the law. It means a unipolar world policed by U.S. armed forces. … fighting wars in the Middle East for the benefit of Israel and of Saudi Arabia, whose arms purchases are indispensable for our military industrial complex. It means bombing countries and overthrowing foreign governments, from Honduras to Syria and beyond, in order to help them conform to “our values”. …

She boasts that her solution is to build up an expensive missile defense shield in Japan and increase everybody’s military buildup in the region. As usual, she goes for the military solution, ridiculing the notion of diplomacy. … Hillary Clinton is the clear candidate of the War Party.

The Clinton Crime Family: Hitlery Clinton the Most Dangerous Presidential Aspirant in US History
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-cli...istory/5527943

Hillary is the most recklessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history, supporting endless imperial wars and state terror … She endorses first-strike nuclear weapons use, calling them peacekeeping deterrents, mindless of their power to destroy life on earth. She’s militantly anti-Russia, earlier compared the nation to Nazi Germany, Putin to Hitler, claiming “he doesn’t have a soul,” …

The so-called Clinton Foundation is a suspected criminal enterprise, masquerading as a charitable NGO. … According to Huguenard, Obama-appointed FBI chief James Comey will recommend Attorney General Loretta Lynch treat “the Clinton Foundation (as) an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.” … Less than 10% of “tens of millions of dollars donated” went for charitable purposes, the rest for self-enrichment. “There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise” said Huguenard. …

She’d be red meat for Trump to take full advantage of in the fall campaign. … Whoever succeeds Obama, likely worse than ever governance will follow. The greatest concern is preventing possible WW III. Clinton’s rage for endless wars, along with her Sino/Russian hostility makes the unthinkable possible.

The Dreadful Kagan Clan — Hitlary’s Warmongers In Waiting
http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives...rs-in-waiting/
In a word, a Clinton presidency would mean Big Government on both sides of the Potomac — a combined Warfare State and Welfare State that would positively bankrupt the nation during the next decade. …

And that brings us to the deplorable Kagan clan — Washington’s leading resident family of war-mongering neo-cons. … Hillary would likely choose one of them — her protégé during her stint in the Obama administration, Victoria Nuland — as Secretary of State. …

The truth is, there are fewer greater menaces in the Imperial City today than Victoria Nuland. Not only does she happen to be married to Bob Kagan, the leading neocon guru of global interventionism and regime change, but she earned her spurs as a key aid to Dick Cheney. …

Nuland’s rampage of everlasting shame … She was the main architect of the coup in Kiev in February 2014 that overthrow the constitutionally elected government of the Ukraine, thereby commencing the whole sequence of confrontations with Russia and the full-throated demonization of Vladimir Putin that has followed.

Needless to say, overthrowing an elected government on Russia’s front doorstep had nothing to do with the safety and security of the American people. But it did rekindle ancient tensions between the nationalistic Ukrainians and neo-Nazis who seized power with Washington’s help and the Russian speaking populations in the Donbas and Crimea, who felt suddenly imperiled and turned to Moscow for protection.

Indeed, the Kiev uprising would never have happened without huge amounts of covert aid and instigation from Washington. Nuland’s appearance at the Maidan Square demonstrations amounted to what would be an unthinkable violation of sovereignty anywhere else in the world. …

Hillary’s favorite candidate for Secretary of State, therefore, almost single-handedly restarted the cold war and pulled the US and Europe into what has become a dragnet of costly economic sanctions that are completely pointless and unnecessary. …

It is no wonder, therefore, that Imperial Washington is lining up behind Hillary, and that the deplorable Kagan Clan …

The fact is, Hillary Clinton has spent a lifetime serving the Warfare state … She was an enthusiastic backer of Bill Clinton’s feckless military interventions in the Balkans during the 1990s and a signed-up hawk for George Bush’s catastrophic wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. …

her time as Secretary of State was an unmitigated disaster. … From the pointless, bloody “surge” in Afghanistan to the destructive intervention in Libya to the arming and aiding of jihadist radicals in Syria, Hillary has proved herself to be a shrill harpy of military mayhem. …

No one in their right mind could have concluded that the aging, pacified, tent-bound Moammar Khadafy was a threat to the safety and security of the American people. … But Hillary’s infamous emails leave no doubt that it was she who induced Obama to embrace the folly that quickly created yet another failed state, hotbed of jihadism and barbaric hellhole in the middle east. Indeed, her hands are doubly bloody.

When Hillary bragged that “We came, we saw, he died”, it turns out that not just Khadafy but thousands of innocents have died, and not just from the chaos unleashed in Libya … now been dispersed all over North Africa and the middle east, spreading desolation in their wake.

But a Hillary Clinton presidency would only guarantee more of the same. …

[bunklocoempire]

Hey Bernouts, ya gotta vote hard.

[alucard13mm]

Yay... Clinton, the bitch that managed to de-stabilize more of the middle east/north africa than Bush. LOL.

What is 1 redeeming quality or value that Clinton have???

[RonPaulMall]

I'll be glad to have Bernie out of the race. I think he's way more dangerous than Clinton.

More dangerous than Clinton, but the elites needed to bury him because if Hillary is ten points down going in to the convention it is Biden and not Sanders they want as the replacement after they pull the switcheroo.

[devil21]

I can't see how Biden would make any difference. He's not any more appealing to the Sanders voters than Hillary was and represents more of the same. I also don't see convention goers and Dem voters overall going for the idea of swapping out Hill for someone NONE of them voted on, instead of Bernie. Btw, the elites that control this stuff are much farther up the food chain than DNC operatives so assuming that those low level lackeys have any real power over the outcome is foolish. The orders come from London and the Vatican.

[RJ Liberty]

AZJoe's post, above, is spot-on about Clinton.

One of the great things about Bernie's campaign is that it highlighted the fact that the primaries and the media are just as rigged on the Democratic side as they are on the GOP side. All Ron Paul supporters remember the GOP's and the media's rigging of the 2008 and 2012 Republican primaries. It was a clear demonstration that liberty-minded voters are not welcome in the GOP.

This last year has been a constant reminder to everyone that the Democratic side is just as corrupt, and that the voters' wishes do not matter on the left, either. It's been an expose and a wake-up call for a lot of people who previously believed that one party or the other represented them. What they discovered is that both parties lied, cheated, stole, and manipulated, while the media pretended it never happened. It's been a wake-up call that is now reflected in polls showing both major candidates are highly unfavorable, and third parties polling higher than they've polled in a generation.
