We're Doomed: Oh dear

Quick update: OH MY GOD WHY WON'T THEY MAKE IT STOP FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU HOLD SACRED PLEASE MAKE THEM STOP WE MUST BE ABLE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS.

Clinton won the nomination in February, some people still hold out hope that isn't the case. Unfortunately "facts" and "math" are against Sanders, he'll stay on through the Democratic Convention because...reasons...but Clinton is the Democratic nominee.

Let's hope she doesn't get indicted for the email thing. (click here for the latest in the investigation and possible outcomes: http://www.politico.com/news/hillary-clinton-emails)

And, in the other corner:

Somehow, Republican voters demonstrated a feeling that can best be described as "ahh, fuck it" in five states that held primaries yesterday. The Scorecard (overall):
  1. Trump - 954 delegates
  2. Cruz - 562 delegates
  3. Rubio (no longer running) - 171 delegates still bound to vote for him in the first round 
  4. Kasich - 153
  5. Technically uncommitted, but their state vote for Trump - 57
  6. Other - 16
  • Remaining to be awarded: 616 delegates in 10 primaries, with California being the largest by far (172 total). 
  • Needed to win on the first ballot at the July convention outright: 1,237
  • Trump remaining to clinch nomination on first ballot: 283
Until recently, pundits would have said it was nearly impossible for Trump to get to 1,237. Given that he only has to win  45% of the remaining delegates, and that he can concentrate a lot of his time and money in California....it appears we should get ready for:

THE TRUMPENING.

Trump v. Clinton 2016 is coming, and it is going to be an absolute disgrace. Trump has already said that "If Hilary was a man, she would only be getting 5% of the vote"...so we're already into gendered attacks from a white male.
