For the Hillary-truthers, it's now the popular vote that matters. But Hillary won't win the popular vote. So this is the moment that matters for the party and for Hillary. Choose: ultimate victory or agonizing defeat.

No matter how well Clinton does in the remaining primaries, her future is going to be in the hands of the superdelegates. It's time for them to exercise their power to rein in scorched-earth campaigning.
