(2,348 posts)that even as (I expect) an outlier, California will never shift enough to give Bernie the kind of win he thinks would make the SDs give him the time of day.

Bernie is starting to slip.
Seems like the more people of him the less they like him.
Her lead of 300 delegates and 3 million votes is insurmountable.
She's got this in the bag.

Holy shit.
Bernie is the Ron Paul of 2016.
Hillary supporters have been with her the entire election and have been reliable, level headed and strong.

Automated system? Like electronic voting?
One sentence description polled significantly different than 3-, 4-, or 5-sentence descriptions? One wonders how the one sentence was written.
And what of this Hypotenuse, Inc.?

Then there's this...
Sanders' victory, on the eve of the next Democratic debate clash that will be simulcast on CNN, raises fresh questions about the former secretary of state's appeal to blue-collar Democrats who have embraced the Vermont's senator's populist anti-Wall Street message.

(30,439 posts)Bernie is actually leading in California?
I'm trying to understand your overall point.
Can you show me a single poll that shows Bernie leading Hillary in California?
KansDem
(28,498 posts)...about elections they have a vested interest in.
I grew up trusting the media and especially the news media. I don't anymore.
on edit: Can you show me a single poll that shows Bernie leading Hillary in California? No, I can't. But he is surging among voters. Just not necessarily among Democrats.
Oh, and by the way: "Howdy, Neighbor!" (Long Beach, here)

(32,886 posts)Has to be a conspiracy. It can't be that many folks simply don't want Bernie to be President. Because people never have different preferences from that posters preferences.

Or do you guys still not believe in scientific observation?
Good grief.
Hekate
(90,714 posts)...and wth does your complaint have to do with anything? The tone and content of your post indicate that you don't live here or have any real understanding of our many many issues.
Strange as it may seem to those who are extremely enthusiastic about one particular candidate, we all have access to the same information everybody else does, and can make up our own minds.
Thank you so much for your interest.
seekthetruth
(504 posts)Cali and WA state share the same climate, ya know....
Your logic makes no sense. For instance, every year our flowers are blooming earlier and earlier, and it's been warmer than normal with much less rain. Again, it's a trend that's continuing.

(504 posts)....what has that letter have anything to do with your candidate's stance on fracking?
Please, defend your candidate's support for fracking.... convince me to support your candidate.
Otherwise, don't ever claim to be a liberal!!!!!!!
