Bernie Sanders posts this today. Seems to me if he wins California, the DNC will end up nominating a candidate who lost the entire West Coast of the USA.

And he lost the entire South. Hillary could actually lose California and still win the nomination. In fact, it doesn't matter if she loses because she'll have gained enough pledged delegates to become the presumptive nominee. Bernie would have to win California by a massive landslide (~75% or more) which is obviously NOT going to happen, as Hillary's not gonna wind up with just 25% of the California vote.

Well several factors most Sander supporters are Independents and can't vote. So they don't have a voice in the Primary, which I don't understand them not changing to a Dem. It was easy took 5 minutes online and after the Convention switching back to Independent.

Second did Hillary win the South due to Super Delegates...It's a hypothetical question...Since the SD gave her 300 to 500 delegates were more people persuaded to vote for Hillary because it made sense went against their own personal choice or did they vote for their personal choice.

Be awesome if he could keep our fingers crossed. If Bernie can pull the US Hockey Miracle on Ice moment in California be epic

While I appreciate that the Sanders campaign is racking its brains coming up with a new standard for selecting a nominee (under which standard he can coincidentally prevail), I am afraid we will stay with the pledge delegates. Good night.

Do you think he'd pull 100% of the vote, or just 95%? He's gotta do at least 75-ish to take a lead.

Hypothetically speaking hypothetically of course if Bernie does get 300 or more in Cali he will enter the Convention tied or having more Delegates then Clinton. California basically will decide who will be the next Democratic nominee.

Nice tweet. If we didn't know any better, you'd think Bernie has gotten 3 million more votes than Hillary.

I dont like either candidate, but i DO live in CA, so I have been paying a little closer attention to this particular race. Hillary was +19 in the last poll just a few weeks ago here and has a +9.7 average lead. Sanders has a slim chance of winning here as of now.
