Yep, the AP called the election for Hillary the night before the primary in California. We'll never know what the vote would have been without that major election interferance. Update: I was indeed talking about 2016 - thanks for pointing that out.

Actually, we do indeed what the vote would have been, which is why AP felt comfortable calling it. You know why they called it, right? It's because Hillary had enough pledged and unpledged delegates at that point to become the nominee.

NBC called it before California, too. Because it was over. That's even assuming Hillary won ZERO delegates in California, which of course was not the case, and could not possibly have ended up being the case. It was a very conservative and well-justified call.

Please check your facts before posting misinformation.

There were months left in the primaries, and public opinion is far from static. Your logic, even at a first pass, fails completely.

That was '16. That was also a complete mess and was my introduction to how politics is really played. Democrat party is not your friend, they are bought and paid for by the people making money hand over fist on everything that people are upset about today.
