[ismnotwasm]

How sweet it is...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton has commitments from the number of delegates needed to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for president, and will be first woman to top the ticket of a major U.S. political party. An Associated Press count of pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses and a survey of party insiders known as superdelegates shows Clinton with the overall support of the required 2,383 delegates. Now the presumptive nominee, she will formally accept her party’s nomination in July at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

20. Not cool AP.

[ismnotwasm]

21. Why do you suppose they did it?

I get that it's premature, but I don't get the motivation

[William769]

22. In news, they always want to be the first with the scoop.

Screw the historical aspect of it that should have happened after a primary.

[ismnotwasm]

24. So AP are being assholes? Just to state the obvious before it's appropriate?

Yeah that's a rotten move.

[William769]
