although it was frequently maddening to hear the networks in the US speak as though it was still "anybody's game," I understand their reluctance to influence the voting in any contest before the requisite number of delegates was achieved.

The press here had already acknowledged that Hillary would achieve that number on 6/7 at 8pm EST.

And then she gave THAT SPEECH.

Yeah. It's TIME.
