2. I'm wondering about the exit polls

that showed the general Bernie/Hillary stats. Exit polls initially had Hillary winning by 4 percent.

You've listed 4 categories here. These are all categories in which Hillary did very well. She's always got numbers that look like that in many races. But Bernie also has sub-groups like that, in which he did well--men, voters from 18-29, white voters. It would be interesting to see those numbers.

I'll take a look at all of this.

I understand what you are saying. However, when you said, "recalibrated" I thought you were suggesting that the general exit poll numbers Hillary/Bernie were "recalibrated" based on additional data that would show new numbers for that general "Who did you vote for?" Bernie/Hillary number.

5. It's my understanding that those were straight up Bernie/Hillary exit polls

CNN had a graphic and they announced that this was "going to be a very close race" based on this 4 percent differential in the general, "Who did you vote for Bernie/Hillary" question.

I'm fairly sure that this was the deal, but I'm open to new info.

Thank you for adding to the conversation in a positive way. I know you're celebrating your win. I would too, if Bernie had won.

I should have figured, right?

That's...too funny.

Of course, I recognize your name now, as a Bernie supporter.

7. If he's losing Latinos 64-36 that doesn't bode well at all for California.

It is amazing how well Hillary does with voters of color.
