We no longer have to settle for the crap peddled by the Third Way.

June dates are unfortunate for states, for sure.

4. That is why primary polls in CA mean very little. We can vote for the Easter Bunny if we want

because the nominee will have already been decided by Super Tuesday. Biden will not run. Hillary will be nominated on Super Tuesday

10. Absolutely. Bernie has a huge and very active army of volunteers in Ca. Looks like they are

11. And? A voter is a voter. This attempt to segragate people is getting pretty sickening.

Another subtle attempt to play the despicable race care. I see AAs now speaking for themselves, offended as they should be, by the early tactic of those attempting to imply that they are unable to look at the candidates for themselves and make their own decisions.

And they are. And they are learning about Bernie like everyone else had and the more they learn, they more excited they are, just like everyone else.

I was just commenting on a simple fact that might explain why Bernie doing better in CA than in some other states. You have a problem with that??

Within a 100-mile radius of my red part of the state, there are currently 21 Bernie Events this month alone. California WILL belong to Bernie. WILL.

There have been exactly ZERO events for Hillary. No tabling, no campaigning, no outreach, nothing. I've seen several Bernie bumper stickers and yard signs here. I've seen exactly one Hillary yard sign. And the cool thing is, there's something going on every week for Bernie. I was on a conference call last week with several other Californians and they were from ALL over the state, I mean even in rural areas up north. This is more support than Dean had in 2004. Not only that, they're getting together car pools to go to stand outside of the debate venue in Las Vegas to make sure the mainstream media covers the HORDES of Sanders supporters outside that were not allowed inside of the front-loaded-for-Hillary seats given to mostly Hillary supporters.

California WILL be Bernie's!
