How can the nomination be "by acclamation" when she'd already had the necessary votes? Suspend what rules?

I'm not trying to be divisive; I'm genuinely puzzled. I AM glad Bernie did that, though.

This is now Hillary Rodham Clinton's story and only her story from now until November 7th. No more Bernie interviews. You don't see them interviewing Martin O'Malley. Or on the Republican side all their loser candidates. No it's Trump and only Trump.
