I am glad that he is getting ready to close the door on Hillary. I'm also glad they let her stay in this long, this way her supporters can hopefully see that they lost this thing in a fair fashion. I just hope that whatever comes out of RBC tomorrow is seen as generally fair to most people.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has tried to stay neutral in the presidential race between two members of his caucus, sent one of the most powerful signals this morning that the Democratic race is about to be over.
Maybe he's been "neutral", but it seems to me that he's been on the side of math the whole time.
As for the disputed Florida and Michigan delegations, Reid said both states "should be counted in some way." But he also said "common sense indicates" that neither one had a true election, since none of the candidates were allowed to campaign there - allowing Clinton to win an advantage because of her famous name.
"Of course an election was held," Reid said. "But - I've been neutral in this, but being very realistic and candid - Clinton, her husband was president of the United States. He had a name that was well known. She had a name that was well known. Obama? Certainly she would do better when there was no campaign."
Between Reid's comments and Pelosi's remarks to the San Francisco Chronicle this morning that "I will step in" to make sure the fight doesn't go to the convention, Clinton is now facing some awfully large writing on the wall.
