The match is set.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton now consider themselves the nominees for president.
“We’re going to come back to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention with the most votes and the most pledged delegates,” Clinton announced Tuesday.
Take that, anybody who thought Clinton needed those mysterious super-delegates.

Time to welcome back the prodigal sons and daughters from their fling with Bernie Sanders and his FAIRY TALE plans.
“That’s why we’re setting bold, progressive goals backed by real plans,” Clinton said. “We have to be both dreamers and doers.”
And as for Donald Trump ripping off the mask.
“As far as I’m concerned it’s over,” Trump said. “These two guys can’t win, there’s no path. So why would I change? If you have a football team and you’re winning and then you get to the Super Bowl, you don’t change your quarterback, right?”
Of course, he immediately revised that.
“Well I may act differently, but my thought process is the same.”
He’s going to argue that Hillary Clinton supported job-killing trade deals, she voted for a stupid war in Iraq, lied about Benghazi, is going to be indicted for her emails, is too ill to handle the pressure, and is simply running on her X-chromosome.
“If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she would get 5 percent of the vote,” Trump argued. “The only thing she has going is the woman’s card and the beautiful thing is women don’t like her, OK?”
“If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!” Clinton said.
And so it is that Americans fed up with elites who run the country, get to choose between Chappaqua and Manhattan.
