Hillary's Big Wins in CA and NJ Provide Crediibility To Unite Dems

Even though the AP had reported Hillary Clinton had won the nomination the day before yesterday’s primaries in six states across the country, a loss to Bernie Sanders in California would have been seen as a true sign of weakness, almost limping across the finish line. But her convincing, double-digit victories in the two most populous and important states, California and New Jersey, has her finishing on a strong note.  Although it is hard to know how much the AP announcement effected turnout, California’s win was especially important as that really had been the place where Sanders was making his last strong stand. With those two victories as well as the closer ones in New Mexico and South Dakota, Hillary ends the primary season not only as the official winner but also looking like a winner. And it gives her greater credibility in uniting the party to face the menace that is Donald Trump.
