Yesterday, 660,000 Democrats voted over 12 hours in a "meaningless" Primary

Explain to me why, if the media accurately states that Clinton has enough delegates to win the nomination after NJ is tallied, committed Sanders voters in the last 2 hours of voting in California will go home?

1. Wa had second thoughts about Sanders.

2. They'll vote. At least those who bother to will vote.

People who vote, vote. People who normally don't vote won't bother. As always.

The voters I pay attention to always vote. They vote in presidential election years and in every other year when there's an election. Those people are the real base of the party. The rest are sometime voters. They vote if they feel like voting, and stay home in off-year elections. Those people are NOT the base of the Democratic Party. Not in any way at all.

I've seen both types of voters. I depend on those who are part of the actual base of the party to show up and vote. The rest might...maybe...if they feel like it.

3. This is the last thing Sanders needed before Jun 7th.

4. That would be an inaccurate report. And your "point" doesn't follow.

5. That Primary yesterday was meaningless because the Democratic Party insisted that it be.

Washington wanted a mail in Primary, the Party sued the State to be allowed to caucus and to use that caucus as delegate allotment in place of the primary.

But what point did you think you were making? Media should be allowed to do that which serves them for no good reason other than it serves their interests? What positive comes from such early calls? All it does is make the process look dubious to some observers. Not a good thing.
