The overall popular vote, so important to the collective Bernie community over the last few weeks...

... no longer seems as important this morning.

And the Hunter Biden / Ukraine nothing burger issue, which Trump Land has seemingly had on pause since the Iowa results, is probably going to be pushed with a renewed urgency next week...

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bernie will get a big bump out of CA and probably TX if his support holds around 30% like it is now. Biden’s immediate goal should be to at least make 15% in CA since the most of the field is still hanging around.

The reason why is how California handles it's presidential primary, it is basically closed to party members. The Sanders people are complaining about NPP people not being able to vote, well, they could have changed their registration and chose not to. So the polls don't truly reflect the true presidential voting pattern, which was bad for Bernie in 2016 and I suspect will be the same this year, remember week of polls had Bernie even with or slightly ahead of Hillary and she beat him by something like 14-17%.
