As promised, the mainstream media yesterday announced that Hillary Clinton has indeed, clinched the Democratic Nomination.
While that may be great for headlines, it is BLATANTLY INACCURATE!
Just as the mainstream media LIED about (and later retracted) the alleged VIOLENCE that broke out at the Nevada Democratic Convention, they have LIED to the AMERiCAN PUBLIC about the DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION being clinched by Hillary Clinton.
Here’s what they did.
In order to show what APPEARS TO BE a CLINCHED NOMINATION, they included in their math the SUPERDELEGATES who DO NOT VOTE UNTIL JULY AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION!!!
This is BLATANTLY FALSE information fed to the American public through mainstream media which, to some, is the only source of information they have access to.
The TRUTH is that NEITHER CANDIDATE, Sanders nor Clinton, have enough ACTUAL DELEGATES (which are the ONLY ONES THAT COUNT) in this stage of the primary to CLINCH THE NOMINATION PRIOR TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION IN JULY!!!
Let’s do the ACTUAL MATH, shall we?
What the media is reporting:
Hillary Clinton has reached the 2383 delegates required to Clinch the Democratic Nomination.
THE ACTUAL TRUTH, ACTUALLY!:
The Media reportings are based on delegate counts that include 571 SUPERDELEGATES who DON’T VOTE UNTIL THE CONVENTION IN JULY.
Superdelegates can be “pledged” without being committed to vote meaning, they can (and often DO) change their vote at the last minute.
To calculate the ACTUAL numbers, SUBTRACT the SUPERDELEGATE COUNT (571) from the 2383 the media is reporting as Clinton’s “Clinched Nomination,” and SHE STILL ONLY HAS 1812 DELEGATES to SANDERS 1521!
THAT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR EITHER CANDIDATE TO CLINCH THE NOMINATION PRIOR TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION!
It’s important to note that SUPERDELEGATES often CHANGE THEIR VOTE at the NATIONAL CONVENTION based on who is the STRONGER CANDIDATE TO BEAT THE REPUBLICANS!!! This happened in 2008 where the superdelegate votes shifted from Clinton to Obama.
Based on every recent National Poll, SANDERS is BY FAR the stronger candidate to beat Republican nominee, Donald Trump in the November General Election.
These reports that hit the airwaves last night are nothing more than a last ditch effort to DISCOURAGE SANDERS SUPPORTERS from VOTING in the CRITICAL CALIFORNIA PRIMARY.
I am hard pressed to find a JUSTIFIABLE reason to flat out LIE to the AMERICAN PEOPLE, but THAT is exactly what the Mainstream Media has done.
Mainstream Media is no longer a source of credible news but rather a platform to promote the agenda of the establishment.
PLEASE, PLEASE, GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
