***Brooklyn****Brooklyn***Brooklyn****Brooklyn***Brooklyn****Brooklyn***Brooklyn****Brooklyn***Brooklyn
Clinton is bypassing the opportunity to speak in New Jersey on Tuesday night, even though shes almost certain to win the state by a comfortable margin. Shes also leaving California out of the equation, because shell be giving her nomination victory speech before the polls even close there. Instead shes chosen Brooklyn, where her national campaign headquarters has been housed from the start.
Hillary will be holding an official event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 6:00 to 10:00pm eastern time on Tuesday night, meaning that when the polls close in New Jersey and she officially becomes the democratic nominee, shell be celebrating just across the Hudson River and East River. It represents an opportunity to bring her campaign back to its starting point.
It also means shell be giving her nomination victory speech in what is essentially neutral voting ground that night, in a state she won handily six weeks ago, which just happens to come with the built in New York media market. At this point Hillary Clinton will enter June 7th needing somewhere between twenty-five and forty delegates to clinch the nomination, a formality at this point. The Brooklyn event is still accepting attendee signups.

"We are the only state or U.S. territory where she got 100 percent of the delegates," he said, citing in part the large voter turnout. "It was great, and we are ready for the national convention."

"The party said Clinton won 84.2 percent of the vote, while Bernie Sanders earned 12.2 percent. Under Democratic National Committee rules, a candidate must win at least 15 percent of the vote to be eligible to receive delegates."
No wonder BS is calling "fraud".. he Lost!
I was just on a jury for someone who said that it ".. was so fucking predictable".. we allowed it to stand 7-0!

(2,032 posts)Great news from the VI. I'd say that it would take awhile for the excuses to burn through the morning fog and the rage but it's all plug and play at this point. I guess we could wager on which outrage will be cited first.

(305,428 posts)in my head for awhile and was use to that so it was hard to wrap my head around 7-Zip @ first!
I was just on a jury that got a 7-Zip Leave for someone who said ".. it's so fucking predictable.. " that sanders was calling "fraud"..
He does that when he loses.. nary a peep about the unfair caucuses when he wins.. it's a pattern. lol
People were excited and overjoyed when Bill Clinton came to visit," said Cecil R. Benjamin, who chairs the party there. He noted that in addition to the seven pledged delegates, all four of the Virgin Islands' superdelegates are now backing Clinton. Superedelegates are party officials who can back any candidate.
