With the outcome in Oregon, the senator from Vermont won his third victory in three weeks.

“This is the beginning of the final push to win California,” Sanders told a rally of 11,168 supporters at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

“There are a lot of people out there who say Bernie Sanders should drop out, the people of California should not have the right to determine who the next president will be,” he said. “We are in this until the last ballot is counted … and then we’re going to take that fight to Philadelphia,” he added.

With the outcome in Oregon, the senator from Vermont won his third victory in three weeks and put 20 states in Sanders’ column.

“We have a possibility – it will be a steep climb I recognize that – but we have the possibility of going to Philadelphia with a majority of the pledged delegates,” Sanders said."

Won't change super delegate minds. 92 to delegates is all Hillary needs. Game over

It is really discouraging for them to do so, disenfranchises a lot of us. I know this is only the primary, which is different, but I wish they'd collect the votes and not announce anything for a couple days.

Not that they get it, or for that matter care, but it depresses the vote. Not that matters anymore, anyway.
