Nick Merrill, Hillary Clinton’s traveling press secretary — as if she needed one other than to help corral pesky reporters with ropes — is fired up about tomorrow’s primaries. How fired up? He’s literally jumping up and down with excitement. So close!
It’s too bad, then, that the AP ruined the moment by announcing that, by its count, Clinton has already clinched the nomination.
So, might as well call the whole thing off. Nick, you can get down now. It’s over.

None of that answers Merrill’s question, though. Who’s excited for Tuesday’s big primary in California?
The @AP declared Clinton the winner of the Dem primary before CA votes tomorrow. I'm sure this will go over well with Bernie supporters.

Wonder if tonight's AP/other media projections will suppress Hillary's turnout tomorrow, boost Bernie's — they'll vote with middle fingers.

She has not won! This a #HillaryFalseCall in attempt to suppress Bernie votes tomorrow! #FeelTheBern https://t.co/xJLNvcfSxw

I hope people still go and vote tomorrow. Its just a primary, so there's no harm in voting for Bernie if Hillary "won" ?

CA don't be fooled. Ur votes still count. Turn out in mass tomorrow & vote 4 Bernie 2 PROVE IT. Hillary's only headed 2 jail. #BernieOrBust

Let me make this clear. Clinton has enough superdelegates to clinch the nomination. But superdelegates can shift. #Vote tomorrow. #Bernie

The fake declaration of a Clinton victory today will bring more support for Sanders tomorrow. If Bernie wins, media won't do this again!
