In reply to the discussion: Is anybody going to talk about the claim about Sanders possibly winning California? [View all]Demsrule86
(68,539 posts)Nevada was a big blow to Sanders and in my opinion has much to do with his loss...you can't call California Senators -both women-ugly sexist names without repercussions. I said they had a lousy ground game and they did...I pointed out that a campaign with a real chance to win can lose if the ground game is weak. Consider California...months before the primary..the word should have been out about requesting a Democratic primary ballot...supporters should have been called...repeatedly. I have been a part of GOTV for a number of campaigns...including both Obama campaigns. We worked on all state voting issues. Sander called the shots if politico is correct, and he should not have done so. Running for the presidency is way different than running for the Senate in a small state.
