Here is a non-breitbart link:

http://www.mercurynews.com/politics-government/ci_29922565/california-voter-registration-soaring-june-7-primary-approaches

"One third of the new voters chose no political party, and only 16.7 percent registered Republican -- far less than the GOP's current 27 percent share of California voters. Nearly two-thirds of the new voters were under 35, and 29 percent were Latino."

One thing that the article does not devote any time on is those who have been registered and voting for years.

Sanders and his campaign has broad brushed and dissed a lot of people and groups which provide jobs, healthcare for women, and a lot of other services. Whole areas of the country have been tossed aside by Sanders. He is not a uniter but a divider

When Sanders commented to the NY Daily News that GE was one of the companies "destroying the moral fabric of America", that charge did not go unanswered.

"The CEO of General Electric was not pleased with Bernie Sanders’s criticisms of the company, writing in The Washington Post that the Vermont senator was lying, making hollow campaign promises, and “missing the point” by criticizing GE’s morality.

“GE has been in business for 124 years, and we’ve never been a big hit with socialists,” CEO Jeffrey R. Immelt writes. “We create wealth and jobs, instead of just calling for them in speeches.”

“The senator has never bothered to stop by our aviation plant in Rutland, Vt.,” Immelt writes. “It’s a picture of first-rate jobs with high wages, advanced manufacturing in a vital industry — how things look when American workers are competing and winning — and Vermont’s junior senator is always welcome to come by for a tour.”

Sanders is just another Pied Piper of Hamelin, with false promises.

A lot of similarities between Sanders and Huey Long. In fact, a lot of similarities between Sanders and Donald Trump
