Hillary
Clinton declares herself winner
From the imperial mouthpiece, the Guardian
The
former secretary of state claimed the mantle as the presumptive
nominee, making her the first woman to lead a major party’s bid for
the White House
Hillary
Clinton declared victory in the Democratic presidential primary on
Tuesday, marking the first time a woman will capture the nomination
of a major political party in the United States’ 240-year history.
Clinton,
taking the stage at the Brooklyn Navy Yard while on the cusp of
winning a majority of pledged delegates, delivered a soaring speech
that appealed for party unity against Donald Trump ahead of what she
framed as a battle for America’s very identity as a nation.
Exulting
under a glass ceiling before thousands of supporters, Clinton began
by paying tribute to the history-making moment that precluded her
eight years to the day when she conceded to Barack Obama in the 2008
Democratic primary.
“Tonight
caps an amazing journey – a long, long journey,” Clinton said.
“It
may be hard to see tonight but we are all standing under a glass
ceiling right now. But don’t worry. We’re not smashing this one.
Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone. The first time in our
nation’s history that a woman will be a major party’s nominee.”

Battleground California: Clinton and Sanders in final tight race
As
polls close in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Dakota and South Dakota, Tuesday could mark the end of either Bernie
Sanders’ campaign or Hillary Clinton’s status as the presumptive
nominee. Check back here for the results.
With
694 delegates being distributed in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries,
it is truly Bernie Sanders’ last stand against Democratic
frontrunner Hillary Clinton. However, it may require a landslide
victory for the senator to guarantee a contested Democratic National
Convention in July.
"While
the results from California's elections are still being determined,
complaints from voters came in throughout the day. Hundreds of
California voters reported problems at polling stations in the state
after encountering broken machines, sites opening late, and
incomplete voter rolls, particularly in Los Angeles County.
Complaints were provided by the voter hotline run by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, while others took to social media to say their names had not been listed on voting rolls.
Many voters said they were handed a pink provisional ballot which instead of leading to a quick in-and-out at voting site, takes longer to fill out and longer for election officials to vertify. Often voters are left in the dark as to whether their votes were counted."
Hi my friend - I very much like your blog. But I do not think of Clinton as a dictator - I voted for Sanders in CA. Regarding the Democratic Party and its authoritarian attributes, I did vote for Nader for years, so, yeah, nothing new. But I will vote for Clinton in the general given that I do not want a moron for president - I don't care what anyone says, Trump is obviously worst.
