1. Great news!

[Baobab]

47. This is such a large margin it doesnt seem at all credible to me.

Especially when considering the fact that Trump has pulled ahead of Mrs. Clinton in polls.

[mcar]

48. National polls are comp!etely irrelevant to state primary polls

[Recursion]

57. What does a national poll between Clinton and Trump have to do with a CA poll

between Clinton and Sanders?

You brought that up like that would have a bearing on the CA numbers.

60. "Oh, it must be RIGGED. Fraud Fraud Fraud!!!! Arggggg!!!!!!" (Does the crazy ever end?)

[DrDan]

2. So Bernie's winning

[Maru Kitteh]

13. :-)

[anotherproletariat]

38. Exactly...clearly you've been to the Sandroid indocrination camps! nt

[RBInMaine]

61. Right. He's winning on Mars.

[workinclasszero]

3. Woohoo! Virtual tie!

RIGGED! Shenanigans abound!

Go Hillary!!!

[NurseJackie]

36. Ha!

[enid602]

4. bern

Bernie will catch up once people get a chance to know him. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Renew Deal]

5. Bernie is winning

If you don't count anyone voting for Hillary.

[KingFlorez]

6. Really close race

Could require a recount.

[ronnykmarshall]

52. and a lawsuit!

#feeltheburnout

[sheshe2]

7. Woot!

[JaneyVee]

8. K&R!

But it will be over by Jersey.

[MineralMan]

9. June 7. We'll know June 8 in most of the country.

That poll will be the one that really matters. I'll wake up, as always, when my clock radio comes on at 5:58 AM. The CBS News will lead off at 6:00 AM with the results of all of the June 7 primaries.

I'll get up at 6:07, following the morning CBS Radio news, knowing how it all turned out. I can wait until then. I can't wait to have those results, since they will probably take Hillary Clinton over the majority threshold in pledged delegates, ending the primary race once and for all.

Hasten the day!

[msongs]

10. fraud! cheating! rigged! just more "southern" voters (southern CA) bla bla bla nt

[firebrand80]

11. He only needs about a 50 pt swing or so

doable

[moriah]

45. As in, 50 more pledged delegates than Hillary?

http://demrace.com/?share=C3eUWO6E

Even if he wins every other primary with an average of 55% to 45%, and takes California 70/30, Clinton would still have 50 + pledged delegates.

[NWCorona]

12. Wasn't Hillary up in Oregon and Kentucky as well?

We will see soon enough.

[Renew Deal]

17. Bernie is down by around 90 in practical terms.

[tonyt53]

19. Oregon? Surely you jest. She gave than one to him.

Kentucky? Hell, at least she had the guts to go face her strongest critics in coal country. Bernie hid behind more college students - and he still lost.

[NWCorona]

21. It might shock you to know but Kentucky hasn't been officially called yet.

[Blue Meany]

29. I was wondering about Arizona, New York and Illinois n/t

[CrowCityDem]

14. But... but... hope?

[jcgoldie]

15. They are just setting us up for election fraud and...

..like Bill blocking millions of people from the polls... errr something.

[RBInMaine]

62. Will these insane conspiracy theories ever end? So pathetic.

[MohRokTah]

16. WOOHOO!!!!!!

Hillary's gonna put it away next Tuesday!!!!

[still_one]

30. kick!!!

[R B Garr]

32. Yes, I think California is going to go with the winner! And good to

see you!

[moriah]

46. Two weeks, rather. :(

[Sancho]

18. Bernie wanted more debates, he got clobbered in the debates.

Bernie sued the DNC - an investigation showed his staff were guilty.

Bernie collected lots of money - and the FEC called him down for breaking rules.

Now Bernie puts his eggs in the California basket, and he is getting stomped again.

Hillary will win before California is even posted, but he's suing California anyway.

Bernie is off his rocker.

[tonyt53]

20. Nice way of putting things into perspective.

[R B Garr]

33. +1000! It's sure looking like people have seen enough of him and are coming back home.

That's an interesting turn of phrase that I heard from a speaker at the Bill Clinton rally in Pomona, CA this last Saturday.

And as an aside, I've never seen Bill C. in person before, but he took my breath away. He is absolutely magnetically charismatic. Anyone who thinks he is not an asset on the campaign trail is just fooling themselves. And Hillary has TWO such Presidents who will be in her corner. I would love to see Obama in person some day.

Go Hillary!

[anotherproletariat]

39. Excellent summary of a desperate campaign. nt

[Number23]

56. Awesome post.

Really shows how desperate, dishonest and absolutely ridiculous that campaign has become.

[auntpurl]

22. Holy moley k&r

[asuhornets]

23. She got this!!!!!! n/t

[Barack_America]

24. Ah, another local news poll.

Like the one that showed Sanders getting trounced in Oregon.

[pnwmom]

28. A poll conducted by SurveyUSA, a national pollster with an A rating from 538, based

on its evaluation of 722 SurveyUSA polls.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/pollster-ratings/

538 predicted a strong win for Bernie in Oregon. Few polls had been conducted in that state, but the demographics alone predicted a win for Bernie, with his biggest support in states with few African American voters.

[LenaBaby61]

25. Most of the polls I've seen the past 2 weeks ...

Show Californian's breaking in larger numbers to Hillary Clinton in the upcoming primary.

I know one thing, SurveyUSA is a very solid polling organization, as per Nate Silver who gives them an A rating.

Living here in California, and from all I've seen and felt these past 2-3 weeks, California does "appear" as if it's going to go for Hillary Clinton.

[still_one]

35. Doing phone banking for Hillary here in California, I heard good solid support

for her.

[RogueTrooper]

26. Crashed and Berned

[MohRokTah]

31. .

[UMTerp01]

27. Bernie is losing by 18 but he only started with 3% so he's really winning

Ya know...the same ole speech when he loses a state. "We started at -300,000% in the polls and have really made great strides...."

[stopbush]

34. This is GREAT news for the Sanders Campaign!

See, his winning the nomination is based on his flipping super delegates from Hillary to himself.

But to flip delegates from Hillary, they first have to commit to Hillary. Then, Sanders can flip them!

So, if Hillary wins CA in a landslide, a big chunk of uncommitted super delegates will commit to Hillary. And THAT'S when Sanders swoops in and gets them all to flip to him!

It's brilliant!

[MoonRiver]

37. WIPE OUT!

[Nye Bevan]

40. Deep South. Doesn't count.

Or something.

[Thinkingabout]

41. Hillary needs 250 pledged delegates to get half, she will get them soon and very soon.

The first vote at the convention will seal the deal, I predict she will get at less half of the remaining pledged delegates which is 390 and at least 140 of the remaining SD's, it will be a clear majority.

[Spacedog1973]

42. But Bernie always beats the polls

Doesn't he? 39% could rise and rise and rise until he meets his targets. You never know what a lot of phone banking, facebanking and twitters trends can do. Lets hit those phones! Lets send him more money than we have ever done before! Spam Youtube videos, Vimeo, Dailymotion, lets spam the front page of Reddit! We can doo iittttt!!!!

..... I believe he has a .......... chance...

[Surya Gayatri]

43. Massive K & R. Thanks for posting.

[DCBob]

44. Bernie needs to win California by 60 points.

[pnwmom]

50. That is, by a bigger margin than he won the caucuses in WA. Or anywhere. n/t

[Peacetrain]

49. Whoa.. that is pretty darned good there!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

51. So glad he's out of money

Don't have to see his fucking ads on TV here in LA.

Our neighbors did get their Hillary yard sign ripped down. Luckily I found it down the street and put it back up.

There were some Sanders peep canvasing in on our street the other day (and good for them), they didn't come to our house (two Hillary yard signs, a rally sign on the door, my car in the driveway with a Hillary sticker)... shocker! When I went outside to unplug my car they gave me major stink eye ...

I expect it to get ugly closer to the primary.

[AgingAmerican]

53. He is now being asked to rescue Hillary in the general election

Hence his unprecedented control over the party platform. The DNC can say, "Buyers remorse!", can you?

[bravenak]

54. I think that's a part of the 'Confederacy'.

[fun n serious]

58. Yep. Not elite enough as further North of Cali.. nt

[bravenak]

59. Conservative and Deep South

[ThePhilosopher04]

55. Bad poll. No way in hell that happens.

[lagomorph777]

63. Hello President Trump

and thank you California. Don't say you weren't warned. We were counting on you to save the party and the country.
