well, Bernie has said various things during the course of this campaign which suggest he understands that his position in the senate is maximized if the democrats control the White House and the senate. That means at some point he’ll get behind Hillary Clinton whether he wants to or not.
He’ll spend the rest of the 2016 election season campaigning on behalf of the democratic senate candidates he likes, in the states where he has influence.
I don't think Bernie sanders will take away Hillary clinton's votes. The Democrats will vote for Hillary Clinton although many don't really like her. So Hillary Clinton will eventually take California too because it is a blue state.

we are talking about the primary, not the general.
This Field Poll, from January, has Clinton/Sanders breakdowns for CA regions and areas. It includes Republicans and Independents in those breakdowns though so isn't much help in figuring out the Primary will go. Statewide, Clinton had a slight edge among Democrats.
I believe Sanders can be competitive in the southwestern states, in fact he doesn't have much of a chance.
Not surprised its the former Free Soil states that Sanders is doing better in.
Its sink or swim, so those fed up with the establishment think about setting up shop in New England, the Pacific NorthWest, NorthWestern, MidWestern, Great Plains states, as well start looking into Hawaii and Alaska.
Its not just the Presidential race, Moderates, Independents and 3rd party supporters, its also elections at the municipal and state and perhaps regional level.
Did everyone forget that the CA primary isn't until June? Hillary will have enough delegates to be the nominee before then and CA will be irrelevant as it usually is. This happens every primary season. CA is nothing but loading on delegates to someone who is already the nominee. It makes absolutely no difference.

This group may make a key difference in the more western states.
"GYASI ROSS:Regarding the Democratic candidates, I’m obviously a Bernie Sanders supporter, and I’ve been his supporter for a long time.
And the early numbers do indicate that we have been supporting Bernie Sanders. In Iowa, the Meskwaki Settlement was very, very much in favor of Bernie, according to the numbers at the caucus. Moreover, in Nevada, the various tribes there, the various Paiute tribes, were very much in favor of Bernie Sanders. However, the unveiling of either party’s positions, platforms, on Native communities, Bernie has unveiled, as of this week at the National Congress of American Indians mid-year conference—they unveiled a pretty detailed platform. And that’s cool.
GYASI ROSS:Well, I think that what we’ve shown in the past few elections, and what we’re going to continue to show, is that, number one, our numbers are growing. And our willingness to participate, we have swung—we have swung elections on a statewide level for national positions, you know, in regards to, here in Washington state, Maria Cantwell, in regards to Jon Tester. And those particular legislators will say that very openly and have been very open about our meaning—the meaning of our votes to their elections. And we do have that power to impact national elections, as well. In Nevada, had those precincts gone, and had Bernie Sanders, you know, actively courted the Native vote, I suspect there might have been a different outcome, because that was a very close election."
