Some will depend on the narrative coming out of SC, but I would think that Warren, Biden, and Buttigieg all have a shot at scoring delegates in CA.

...that Sanders WOULD be the only one to break 15%... I was just noting that, surprisingly (at least for me), the polls indicate he similarly has a shot at being the only one who does.

I wonder how well Sanders will do in larger states. Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada are much smaller than Texas and California. I think that grassroots are harder to do in bigger states, and media buys become more important. So, will Sanders grassroots organization be able to mobilize in big states, or will Billionaires like Bloomberg and Steyers come in with multi-millions of ad buys and try to buy votes? It will be interesting to see.

He has pretty big name recognition (which cuts both ways) from 2016. I think he will lock down some pretty big parts of TX and CA. He will be formidable in the big states.
