UPDATE 6.30am June 8:
Hillary has won California, with a 13-point lead after 93% of votes counted. She also took New Jersey, South Dakota and New Mexico, making the delegate math more undeniable than ever.
But Bernie – who won in Montana and North Dakota – isn’t rolling over:
By refusing to yield to her ascendancy Sanders may be tacitly giving the so-called “Bernie bros” a continued license to bully.
The bullying had already reached a “Bernie bunny boiling point” this week.
On Monday, New York Times reporter Amy Chozick authored a story declaring that Hillary Clinton had clinched the Democratic nomination. On Tuesday morning, according to Chozick, she woke up to some pretty angry readers.
I won't be answering calls from unknown numbers today, after third call from Bernie supporters telling me they'd hunt me down in the streets

The story simply cited an Associated Press survey of Democratic super-delegates whose answers prompted the AP to declare that Clinton had enough votes for victory.
But the Bernie Bros, still working out their “delegate math” to put Sanders on a path to victory, obviously weren’t ready to accept the truth.

The good news, though, is that the Bernie Bros are beginning to acclimate into new campaign roles, as Donald Trump protesters. Unfortunately, they’re as adept at protesting as they are at winning over Hillary Clinton’s female fans.
Yes, that is two Bernie Bros attacking each other.
