There’s no Democratic nominee yet!
March 17th, 2016
Be it Sanders or Clinton, there is no Democratic nominee yet, and that nomination will not occur for some time. There are many primaries, and compared with 2008, MANY that have not occurred yet that were held much earlier in 2008.
There are “some” saying that Clinton now is ahead of where Obama was at this point in 2008, using that to argue that she is the presumed nominee. Ummmmm, NO!
Look at the schedule, we’re more than a month behind now in primary and caucus scheduling:
As of this time in 2008, the following states had had primaries but as of this time in 2016, they have not, they’re yet to occur (in 2008 date order, with 2016 date written in):
Alaska – March 27
Arizona – March 22
California – June 7 (2008 2/5!)
Connecticut – April 26
Delaware – April 26
Idaho – March 22
New Jersey – June 7 (also 2/5 in 2008)
New Mexico – June 7 (ditto)
New York – April 19
North Dakota – June 7 (ditto)
Utah – March 22
U.S. Virgin Islands – June 4
District of Columbia – June 14
Maryland – April 26
Hawaii – March 26
Wisconsin – April 5
Rhode Island – April 26
Wyoming – April 9
Sooooooo… see what nonsense it is to state that there is a presumptive nominee at this point in time? But I’ll wager this perspective is promoted by a certain candidate who doesn’t want to be bothered with the facts.
Just stop it, folks, and let’s keep moving forward with this contested nomination campaign.
