2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Is anybody going to talk about the claim about Sanders possibly winning California? [View all]apnu

I believe that's why it took so long for Bernie to speak. They had hoped it would tighten up.

First thing will be to not tell you on DU. Others may differ, but that seems silly to do.

Saying that large rallies do not translate into votes is not mocking large rallies.
