Hill's Anti-Trump Rant Clinches Her Nomination

Good Sunday morning, Friends,

If there was any doubt that Hillary would officially win enough delegates under well-known party rules to clinch the nomination this coming Tuesday, it should be completely gone now.

Mrs. Clinton is now just 60 votes shy of the 2,383 she needs..

She swept her first contest yesterday in the Virgin Islands' caucus, taking all the delegates there by preventing Bernie Sanders from getting 15% of the vote.

Today, she'll inch even closer with 60 delegates at stake in Puerto Rico's primary, and she's expected to win there. With six states voting Tuesday, it's mathematically impossible for her not to get enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Barring the very real possibility of criminal indictment, Hillary is the Democratic nominee plain and simple. The math don't lie.

California will have a YUGE say in which way this thing is going. A Sanders win in the country's biggest state will cloud the picture.

Bernie is smart to stick around as a candidate until the convention, just in case. And he and his followers will determine the course of this election in any event.

This looks like Hillary's campaign. It finally came together, but it's
still in a bit of chaos.

Regardless of what now happens in the remaining primaries, I think that Hillary had a turning point last week, a defining moment to which the historians will point and say that's where her campaign gelled.

She came across as the party's presumptive nominee, and pulled it off.

It was supposed to have been a foreign policy speech but was really a point-by-point skillfully-constructed analysis of how Donald Trump is thin-skinned and dangerous.

She said, he should never be allowed to have his finger on the nuclear trigger. I've said it myself before in several posts.

Hillary proved to the world she could take Nubbs on. And she now has him totally rattled.

While she's in the race, Hillary will be effective at knocking Trump off his game. And she's the first of his 18 opponents to prove able to do so without damaging herself. That's pretty significant.

There are many twists and turns we will see between now and this summer's nominating conventions. And this race has proven extremely hard (but at least for one pundit not impossible) to predict.

Any of the candidates could self destruct between now and then.

It won't be completely certain, even after all the votes are cast on this last 'Super" Tuesday, who the Democratic nominee will ultimately be.

Hillary's legal situation is serious, even though most of the easily-led media is ignoring it.

Meanwhile, Hillary will be effective in taking Nubbs down a few notches.

If she can avoid prison, we can look back to last week as the pivotal moment in Hillary's campaign.
