63. She got those votes and delegates by people going to polling places and caucuses

It's the same way Bernie Sanders got his votes and delegates.

I would not call all of the primaries meaningless from here on out, but there is every indication that Hillary Clinton will have more than enough delegates to win on the first ballot.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not my favorite party leader, but she represents a very blue district in one of the largest and most politically influential states in America.

The General Election is not the primaries. Primaries are when parties choose their candidates. The General Election doesn't have super delegates, but it also doesn't have caucuses in which the undecided and small candidate voters are browbeaten into supporting someone else. The two are different animals.

The media will not be "friendly" to either candidate. Every passing day from August to November will be filled with dirt and scandal. The series with Kerry Washington will pale by comparison. This is the race the media wanted, and it will be must watch television until November.

Sanders scores well in polls now, but he has not been subjected to unbridled Republican attacks; Hillary has not made a big issue of his age (which the Republicans certainly will); Donald Trump has not chosen to say anything about Jane Sanders (I'll leave that to your imagination); and comparatively little red-baiting has been done. In the event that Bernie Sanders is the nominee, I think we're in for a rough four months.
