You're living in a time warp judy - you think there is still some suspense at the conventions about who the delegates are actually going to vote for?? Besides no one's pressuring clinton to drop out of the primaries, they're expected her to conduct her remaining (futile) weeks in a way that does not undermine the campaign of the eventual nominee of the party in the general election. There's no precedent in recent history of a candidate campaigning as negatively as clintons against the eventual noominee of their party. > > > (And it wasn't "on national television."
