[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. Meh, it is gonna be a lot closer, trust me. I think Hillary has won it, but it aint gonna

be a landslide in CA.

[mainstreetonce]

2. Thanks

Hill yes!

[fun n serious]

6. Bernie NOT Hillary needs a landslide.

It's over...

[JaneyVee]

3. K&R!

[Dem2]

4. Now we know what excites CALI democrat

[MadBadger]

5. What a horse shit biased article though, right? "57% of voters are resigned to vote for Hillary."

Thats some grade A Bullshit. Maybe they want to vote for her.

[fun n serious]

8. Read the whole thing?

"In the Democratic presidential race in California, Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 57 percent to 38 percent."

[Cali_Democrat]

11. Yup. The title of the article is certainly lame. nt

[CrowCityDem]

7. I think it proves...

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.

[dchill]

9. Wow. That's not very good for over a month out...

Normally, she'd need a much bigger margin to blow. You must be worried.

[fun n serious]

12. No. His highs have peaked.

Now they're dropping

[Cali_Democrat]

13. I must be worried? nt

[Thinkingabout]

32. I am looking forward to the results in California, want to see the difference in vote counts,

See how many more delegates Hillary will end the primaries. I like the big numbers.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. ...

[workinclasszero]

50. Oh my

[griffi94]

34. Hillary is ahead

by 300 delegates and 3 million votes.

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.

[Zynx]

44. Other than Michigan, a month out what other major leads did she "blow"?

Maybe Illinois, but NY, MD, and PA so far just held steady. So did AZ.

[fun n serious]

10. Hillary's support is strong unwavering but quiet..

Be careful for us! We surprise you

[dchill]

15. What??

You're serious, aren't you?

Holy shit.

[metroins]

26. It's true

Bernie is the Ron Paul of 2016.

Hillary supporters have been with her the entire election and have been reliable, level headed and strong.

[Hekate]

35. And we show up at the voting booths, which is why HRC is ahead by millions of votes.

[fun n serious]

27. If you saw the posts of t he BS supperters wondering why he is not winning in a landslide..

You would say the same.

[Progressive dog]

24. We did win NY in a landslide,

and I voted. I can't make a claim to the being quiet though, except in relation to supporters of Bernie and Trump.

23. Actually the poll was conducted by SurveyUSA. nt

[KansDem]

39. SurveyUSA...

SurveyUSA is a polling firm in the United States. It conducts market research for corporations and interest groups, but is best known for conducting opinion polls for various political offices and questions. SurveyUSA conducts these opinion polls under contract by over 50 television stations (who also use the SurveyUSA market research to fine-tune their newscasts for higher ratings). The difference between SurveyUSA and other telephone polling firms is twofold. First, SurveyUSA does not use live call center employees, but an automated system. Taped questions are asked of the respondent by a professional announcer (usually a local news anchor), and the respondent is invited to press a button on their touch tone telephone or record a message at a prompt designating their selection. Secondly, SurveyUSA uses more concise language, especially for ballot propositions, than competitors. This can lead to diverging results, such as for California Proposition 76, where one version of the SurveyUSA question with a one sentence description, polled significantly differently compared to another version with a three sentence description (which was similar to a version of the question used by other pollsters, which used a five or six sentence question).[1]

SurveyUSA is owned by Hypotenuse, Inc., a privately held company in New Jersey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SurveyUSA

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.?

Ron Paul, eh?

(Incidentally, "CTO" means "Chief Technology Officer.&quot

[Cali_Democrat]

45. 538 gives SurveyUSA an 'A' rating

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

[KansDem]

46. 538, eh...

First there's this...

According to our final polls-plus forecast, Hillary Clinton had a greater than 99% chance of winning the Michigan primary.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/michigan-democratic/

Then there's this...

Washington (CNN)Bernie Sanders won the Michigan Democratic primary, CNN projects, in an upset that delivers a sharp blow to Hillary Clinton's hopes of quickly securing her party's nomination.

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.

on edit: I don't think their "A" rating means much...

[Cali_Democrat]

47. So what are you getting at with all this?

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]

52. We can't trust corporations to make bias-free predictions...

...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)

[stevenleser]

64. Doesn't matter what you say, that poster can wrap a conspiracy around it.

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.

[seekthetruth]

16. Why are you guys so happy about continuing harmful energy production practices????

....in a state that has seen the horrible droughts that have been made worse by climate change?

Or do you guys still not believe in scientific observation?

Good grief.

[Hekate]

33. Calif is the most populous state; it is extremely diverse in both ethnicity and opinion...

...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]

40. Uhmmmmm.

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.

[Hekate]

59. For fun, read this letter from Gov Brown to Gov Scott

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027798005

https://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19399

[seekthetruth]

65. Have not a clue what you're trying to debate with this article.....

....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!!!!!!!

[seekthetruth]

68. Still reply?

[livetohike]

17. Expect this lead to grow!

[Skink]

29. As more and more republicans get on board

[workinclasszero]

54. Raising Hill in California!

I love it!!!!

[dgauss]

18. "57 percent of registered Democratic voters are resigned to vote for Hillary Clinton"

Now that's inspiring.

[NurseJackie]

19. Would you call that a "BLOWOUT" or "LANDSLIDE"? :-D

"Whatever you'd call it, it's not good news for Bernie, that's for sure!"

[w4rma]

20. If true, I'd call that, "President-elect Trump". (nt)

[NurseJackie]

22. Really?

[sufrommich]

21. The uglier his campaign gets,the lower his numbers sink.nt

[grossproffit]

30. Many are starting to see him for who he is and it's not pretty.

[Hekate]

36. I'm still wondering why so coy about tax returns that even GOPers have traditionally released....

It's expected by now, and really, if Jane was just too busy I'm sure the Sanders' could just take all the shoe boxes full of receipts over to H&R Block and it would have been done in a jiffy.

[sufrommich]

41. He's now taken to accusing Hillary of "money laundering".

There's apparently not going to be a dignified exit for Bernie.

[Hekate]

42. What utter crap

[DCBob]

25. WOWZA!!

[lunamagica]

28. WOO HOO!!!

[Thinkingabout]

37. Go, Hillary!!!

[Hekate]

38. That is cheering news

[oasis]

48. Sore loser, denial talk is obviously hurting Bernie.

He's getting bad advice from his inner circle.

[workinclasszero]

55. Totally agree

Most democrats are sick and tired of this crap!

[workinclasszero]

49. Woohoo!

BOOM!!!!!!

Its sooooooo over for Bernie!

[ericson00]

51. just as in NY and FL, Bernie has shot himself in the face with the Jewish vote,

which looms large in CA, as it did in those states. Pretty sad.

And the hispanic vote, and the black vote; I emphasized the Jewish vote since until NY, they weren't mentioned much in the media.

[workinclasszero]

53. Bernie and his handlers are doing great harm

to his message.

He needs to stop the fantasy talk and the attacks and get with the program!

Back the nominee and stop Trump!

He is pissing away his legacy for nothing.

[revmclaren]

56. As a proud California born Clinton supporter...

NO WAY SANDERS GAINS DELIGATES IN CALIFORNIA! Pure sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. And don't forget #BERNIEMATH. Which doesn't do well here.

[MineralMan]

57. Wow! How could they be so far off?

Everyone knows that Bernie will get at least 76%·

[DCBob]

58. Hillary Clinton defeats Donald Trump by 56 percent to 34 percent.

[TimPlo]

63. I would hope so

Obama took CA with 60%. Any lower for Clinton and it would be bad news.

[ucrdem]

60. YES!!!!!!!!

I figured there'd be a flurry at the end but this is even better than I'd hoped!

[mcar]

61. Wow!

[ronnykmarshall]

62. Oh dear

[firebrand80]

66. Doesn't matter

Regardless of who wins the rest of the contests, the superdelegates are going to give the nomination to Bernie

[ronnykmarshall]

67. I know, right?

Those formerly evil supers are going to #feelthebern and vote for Bernie regardless that Hillary have a shit load more votes and pledged delegates .

#wethepeople #feelthebern
