Bernie's New Illusion: it all Comes Down to California Unless We Lose

He calls California the Big Enchilada. While the state is worth a lot of delegates, in truth the primary is already over.

All the states which have already voted and given Hillary a 3 million vote lead are the Big Enchilada. The idea that if Bernie wins California then he wins the nomination is the latest creative fiction. He was saying that about NY before.

He is also hedging his bets with Cali like he did NY. If he loses it's still not over. Huh? What will make it over Bernie? Hillary currently is just 74 delegates from 2383 and yet you say if you lose Cali it's still not over?

Bernie''s whole theory of elections seems to be Heads I win, Tails You Lose. If he won NY, then Hillary would be shown to be a weak candidate even if she won the nomination. She won by double digits, so NY didn't matter.

Same with Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Ohio. Now it's all about California if he wins it. If he loses then it's not all about California.

"Capturing the California primary will be critical for Bernie Sanders’ hopes of capturing the Democratic nomination, but the Vermont Senator said Sunday the Golden State isn’t a do-or-die for his campaign."

“Obviously, if we don't do well in California, it will make our path much, much harder,” Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “No question about it. But I think we have a good chance to winning California, maybe win big, and maybe win four or five of the other states that are off on June 7th.”

"Recent polls have showed the race between Sanders and front-runner Hillary Clinton is narrowing, but the former secretary of state still has an edge. Democrats are also voting that day in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota and North Dakota."

Big surprise, Politico mischaracterizes California. One poll showed it tighter. The averages still show her up by double digits. Last week two California polls came out. One showed it a 2 point race, one showed it an 18 point race.

The media declared it a 2 point race.

Dianne Feinstein has a reality based analysis. But, of course, Bernie doesn't like reality. Or there is bourgeoise reality and then there's proletarian reality.

"California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Sunday called on Bernie Sanders to consider suspending his campaign in an attempt to unify the party around front-runner Hillary Clinton."

“He ought to be able to read the signposts as well as anybody else, and if he did that, he would know that it's all but over,” Feinstein said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I know the passion of a campaign. I know when you're in it, and you just keep go, go, go until the last hour is there. Well, the last hour is close by.”

"Clinton stands a chance of securing enough delegates to put Sanders away on June 7 when California and other states hold their primaries. Sanders is focused on trying to halt Clinton's progress with a strong showing that day."

Politco does it again: 'Stands a chance.'

Not stands a chance but simply she will clinch on June 7. She's only 74 delegates away now and Cali itself is worth 475. No way she fails to win 74 even if it were a Bernie landslide which it won't be.
