Technically Speaking vs. Practically Speaking

An awful lot of wasted thread space is being devoted to arguing a point with which nobody in their right mind would disagree, which is that Clinton has not yet reached 2383 delegates or 2026 pledged delegates. Or that Clinton likely won't reach 2383 prior to the convention--as if that matters.

Technically speaking, of course the race isn't over and of course the convention has not yet taken place. Duh.

Practically speaking, however, Clinton pretty much had the nomination sewn up March 15th. I would argue (and did argue last year) that Sanders never stood a chance, but that's beside the point. Mathematical and demographic realities made the impending result crystal clear by mid-March.
