1. He makes good points. Change the system next year if people truly believe it was awful this time

around.

And are people seriously going to vote for lying trump. Look at the video to see what I mean.

[JDPriestly]

5. Trump is not the only alternative in California, and he has very little chance of garnering

much support here.

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Hilarious segment...especially when he says: "Bernie supporters, I can

hear you typing right now..." LOL!

[Sancho]

3. Fantastic satire...

[riversedge]

10. Satire is known for its truth.

[JDPriestly]

4. NO ONE HAS WON UNTIL CALIFORNIA HAS VOTED.

We did not ask to vote last or nearly last.

We want to vote for Bernie. If you like Hillary, that's your problem. But we in California want the chance to vote for Hillary.

I'm 72, and Bernie is the best candidate for president in my life. The most decent, the most caring, the most intelligent, the best on all counts.

I want to vote for him. Should Hillary actually win at the convention and in November, I want to be among those who say "I told you so," and "It isn't my fault. I voted for Bernie" when those who vote for HER find out how bad she really is.

So, thanks for nothing. My vote here in California will count to me. It's a conscience vote.

I want my chance to vote for Bernie. My conscience demands it.

6. The Washington, D.C. Democratic primary is on Jun 14 nt

[JDPriestly]

15. And D.C. voters should have their say in dignity. Thank you.

[Perseus]

8. I didn't watch the video, but I like your post

It is not over, I still believe, and hope, that the super-delegates will think hard about where they cast their vote, because the anger towards the DNC and Hillary is such that I worry people will refuse to vote for her if she 'wins' the nomination, and they don't understand that this is truly a fight for survival and the need to vote for the least of two evils because the Trump evil is much worst.

I hope California gives Sanders the win he needs and that super delegates do the patriotic thing.

13. It's worth watching.

The headline is seriously misleading. It's about how dysfunctional the whole primary system is.

[riversedge]

9. Even if Bernie wins CA--Hillary will have more delegates.

[liberalnarb]

11. Not if Bernie gets 75% of the vote.

[riversedge]

12. He would have to do that in every remaining state and territory.

[JDPriestly]

14. My point is that we in California want to vote without all this angry vitriol from the

misguided Hillary supporters.

So what if she wins. We still want our chance to vote.


If the shoe were on the other foot, Hillary supporters would feel the same way.

Let us vote in peace. Have that much respect for California voters.

17. In the last election, almost 18 million people in California were registered to vote

I bet this year it will be higher, because of young voter and independent turnout.

If half of those are democratic, that is nine million people. If the vote goes in favor of Bernie, he could possibly gain a couple million votes on Hillary and make the race much much closer than it is now. It's even possible (although not probable) that he could surpass her in the popular vote.

I think too much is being made of the numbers before voting even happens.

Lets give the process a chance.

7. Thank you, thank you. This expresses my feelings about the process. Remember February 2.

I just set outlook to remind me to send an letter to the Democratic and Republican Primary.

16. Your headline is misleading, but par for the course coming from you
