This is a bad move. She really should come out. Even CNN are giving her shit for it. Had Trump been in her shoes, we'd all be giving him hell for not conceding. Oh well.

Trump would never have conceded if the situation were reversed. He would wait for the final tally. I have no issue in a situation where the 3 states that will determine the winner are so close they could go either way, with either candidate waiting.. It is what it is.

Although I do think she should have waited it out.

CNN seems to be dragging it out. I do believe it is a foregone conclusion though. Now where did I put that cyanide pill.

Tonight's happenings were quite unbelievable. History in the making. Just goes to show how p* ssed off the American people must be to vote for Trump.

It's pointless, but I can't help but wonder how things would have gone had it been Sanders instead of Clinton.

Oh well, on to the next, I suppose. Tulsi Gabbard in 2020, then? She seems to be the closest Democrat to Sanders (since Elizabeth Warren seems to show no interest in running), and she'll not even be 40 by then. She could be the first president that is younger than me

I can see Paul Ryan going up against Trump in the primaries as well, I don't think he's necessarily guaranteed to run uncontested in 2020.

Who knows what would have happened if anyone but Clinton and Trump been nominated.

Sorry but every time I saw Elizabeth Warren...I saw a rabid pit bull.

Who knows what the world will be like in 2020.
