Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumDoes BS realize that California is not the only state voting on June 7?
The BS campaign plans to win the nomination by doing well in California. Did they forget that New Jersey, DC and New Mexico are voting that day, too? Do they think they are going to win enough delegates from my state to cancel losing elsewhere?

(24,396 posts)and that's in a state where he currently trails badly in the polls, where he's spending nothing on ads...and where his campaign director just quit.
His "plan" at this point seems to be averring that he can still win just so he can claim Hillary/the DNC/whoever cheated him out of the nomination.

(96 posts)If Clinton wins California, she will cinch the election without having to use any superdelegates. The race is completely over, and no lobbying will change it (aside from candidates leaving for other reasons).
If Sanders wins California (and a couple other random states), then it will mean that neither candidate has the minimum delegates to automatically win, and the primaries get decided by superdelegates.
Like groundhog day, it also means another another 6 weeks of winter because superdelegates don't cast their votes until the convention.

(332 posts)In Bernie logic, there are too many black people in DC for his tastes, and New Mexico is the place where ET crashed in 1947 !

(3,739 posts)two Democratic senators all supporting her and we have a large Hispanic population and also plenty of Asian and African American voters who will come out for Hillary. I live in the SF Bay Area and San Francisco is probably the most liberal city ever. Extremely liberal...You might think that would mean BS would be polling ahead in San Francisco. Wrong. Hillary is polling ahead of BS in San Francisco. *Fun Fact: My dad is going to be 90 years old soon...guess you would put him in the "old white guy" demographic. He voted for Obama and he is fired up to vote for Hillary. He also told me yesterday that Bernie needs to get the hell out of the race already.

(2,897 posts)Bernie is behind by 278ish delegates so to counter that every BS'r and the campaign bring up the fact that CA has 475 and that Sanders can magically do so well that he can erase that lead. He's going to win big there like he did NY... oh wait.
