The Media Narrative Has Now Shifted to Clinton v Trump

After tonight's impressive wins, the media has decided that the primaries are over and the nominations are settled.

Talk about Sanders is now about how he exits the field. Talk about Trump is how he can possibly be denied the R nomination.

On to the GE!

and I'm not easily impressed by speeches. But to be fair, Bernie gave the party a challenger for Hillary and he was a strong competitor. But think it's over and Hillary was very generous, respectful and complimentary in her mention of him in her speech. Don't know who wrote that speech but she better keep them on staff... best I've heard in victory speeches in a long time.

but being the political animal that I am, I am a trained speech analyst in the deconstruct mode. That speech was one of the best that I have heard from her and I've been watching her for 34 years.

thinking that BS will find a way to get the spotlight back on him. he's not letting that spigot dry up this soon.

"In a speech to supporters, in which she declared that "victory is in sight" in the race for the nomination, Clinton reached out to those who had backed Sanders, saying, "I believe there is much more that unites us than divides us."

...he deliberately stranded when he suddenly took the chartered plane to Vermont and left them all behind, shocked, and having to find their own way. He has been courting them and then dumps then flat while in a fowl mood.
Not a good way to get good press coverage.

Oh well, I'm sure they will spin his quick exit somehow.

Great night for us Hillary people, Cha!

Wonder how that went down? BS and his entourage got on the plane before the press.. and then they shut the door really quick behind them?!

Super night and more to come, pandr~
