LOS ANGELES — Hillary Clinton became the presumptive Democratic
nominee on Monday night, but Bernie Sanders still has a big problem with
the word “presumptive."
Even after the Associated Press declared Monday that she would become
the first woman to top a major party ticket this fall, the increasingly
combative Vermont senator’s posture — and that of his increasingly
furious campaign team — remained clear: This ain't over.
“It was one of the most appalling things I’ve seen in a long time,”
senior campaign adviser Mark Longabaugh said of the AP call, noting that
the organization had taken weeks to count Sanders’ delegates from
Washington state earlier this year, a saga that roiled the Sanders team,
but somehow managed to chase down enough undeclared superdelegates to
declare Clinton the primary winner on the eve of the campaign’s last big
primary day. “Yet here they are haranguing and badgering super
delegates before the final votes were cast. On top of the fact that
they’re awarding delegates in Puerto Rico when the counting isn’t even
finished in Puerto Rico."
