Have you noticed how Hillary Clinton and her acolytes in the Democratic Party continually harp on how, hey, it's no big deal that the Democratic race has gone on for so long this year; remember, it (supposedly) took Bill Clinton in 1992 until June 2nd to wrap up the nomination?
Not really true by a long shot. As Byron York recently explained:
"Bill Clinton is fond of saying he didn’t wrap up the Democratic nomination until June 2 of that year, when he won the California primary. That’s technically true, but Clinton was the clear winner long before that. Nevertheless, former California Gov. Jerry Brown stubbornly stayed in the race, even though going into June 2, he had 388 delegates to Clinton’s 2,059. (Clinton’s total was, at the time, 86 short of locking up the nomination.) Brown hadn’t been taken seriously since losing the New York primary on April 7, but he kept at it. His campaign became so quixotic that in late May, during a visit to an elementary school in South Central Los Angeles, a nine year-old asked him, “What do you plan to do to get more delegates to win this campaign?” “That’s a very good question,” Brown answered, according to an Associated Press report. “What do you think we should do?” There was no good answer, but who cared? Brown could stay in as long as he liked because his presence didn’t really matter."
Another Clintonian distortion. But by now, who's surprised?
