Then, a reporter asked the room full of Democratic state lawmakers who they support for president. And it got awkward.

...

That led Asm. Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) to interrupt – and a split quickly emerged. (To get the full picture, we recommend you listen to our audio story.)

Jackson: “And so there’s I think a little generational gap here. But I think that the –”

...

Gonzalez went on to say that some women – particularly young women – may see poverty as their biggest obstacle. So “they may choose that over the symbolic nature of a woman as president,“ she said.

1. That is what happened to women in NH. Hopefully everywhere. nt

2. Those silly younger women focus on their actual problems, as opposed to symbolism? Gasp! nt

4. Shocking

My wife, a very intelligent 32 year old Californian, initially was all about HRC due to the woman factor+name recognition. I kept telling her to read up on this guy Bernie and his plans. I can't convince her of anything myself, she is about as stubborn as I am, so all I could do was tell her to read about him.

She liked what she read, and after the first debate she decided he is the best choice for the future.

6. That caught my eye too, I thought Hillary supporters weren't using gender as a criteria.

Just Bernie supporters and in a negative way.

5. This is why we HAVE to keep Sanders alive through California.

The entire enchilada, right here. And I guarantee you this state goes Sanders. Guarantee.

8. Im in CA

And I've been cornering the vote once a week for Bernie in my town since September. The first day I went there were two of us. Now there's about 20 regulars and I can't tell you the number of times a car full of young people pulls over to join us because they know of Bernie and support him in a big way.

The feedback from drivers that go by this busiest intersection in my So Cal town has been 90+% positive from the beginning, and more all the time. At least here we're keeping it alive and will until he wins.

9. We had a Barnstormer Event

last Sunday in Fresno, had 180 people in attendance and spawned 27 phone banking events. They had roughly the same results in Stockton, Merced and Bakersfield. Yes, the San Joaquin Valley is feelin' the Bern!

13. Yeah I agree. CA will matter. this year

And CA will go Bernie By close to double digits.

10. I guess those not supporting Clinton will have their own special place in hell

[DI Freighter Watcher]

11. Support Bernie

I guess that would be me. If not for supporting Bernie then for upsetting people on DU. I made a comment about Hillary and bam jury said it was rude. Thought people here could express their opinions but not if your critical of Hillary. Sad thought DU was a little more tolerant. Guess I'll go back to reading and not commenting. Don't want to upset anyone.

15. It's funny you said that

I was just on a jury for what sounds like the same kind of comment. I'm still waiting on the results.

12. CA's Primary Isn't Until Late

in the process, so who knows what could be happening by then? Perhaps because of that, I haven't seen much of anything related to the campaign around here yet. Those I have talked to, though, have either been full-on Bernie people or were just starting to learn about this 'socialist' and liking what they were reading and hearing so far. I can tell you that before SBS ever started gaining momentum, everyone I spoke to mentioned Clinton fatigue, Booooosh fatigue and tRump horror.

We'll see how it goes. June is a long way off.
