1. No.

[Zeus69]

2. No. It doesn't.

[RandySF]

3. Depends on how much he wins by.

[AGeddy]

4. Not really. He was winning it by 20% just a week ago and he'll win by single digits now.

Without the early vote, he wouldn't have won CA either.


Biden will be the national delegate leader after tonight.

[Renew Deal]

8. And split delegates at least 3 ways.

5. Sanders will probably not make up the delegate demolition from the rest of the states

[still_one]

12. Because of the three way split between sanders, Bloomberg, and biden

[Kablooie]

6. Probably depends on how you define Kink.

[DrToast]

11. Always use a safe word.

[still_one]

7. Just ok because it looks like a three way split between Sanders, Bloomberg, and Biden

delegate wise

[LizBeth]

9. No. And I ma excited to see the results. I do not htink it is going to be nearly the landslide he

expected. Texas baby, with Beto.

10. No, not really

California was expected to go that way.

[frazzled]

13. Whatever his advantage

It will be that Californians have been mailing in ballots for a month, and they can’t change them. Bet there’s a lot of sorry folk in California right now. And 67% of California (stupidly, IMO) vote by mail.

We won’t have final votes from CA for a week. Mail ballot deadline is not till Friday.

[RhodeIslandOne]

14. He was supposed to win it.

[nini]

15. Not a surprise and it's not winner take all

I know a lot of folks who voted early and wanted to switch to Biden from warren. That's how it goes. Who knew things were going to turn upside down.

[mvd]

16. CA is still early. Margin could grow. I think it is a great get

The media overreacted to the first few states. The media is so disappointing. I expected that Biden would be a challenge. Bernie did well enough tonight to keep going for sure.

[DarthDem]

17. No, not at all

California banked a ton of its vote early, when Biden didn't look like he would do all that well (at least if you forgot that IA and NH are unrepresentative and IA and NV are caucuses). Different story now, and if CA didn't have VBM its results would likely reflect that.

[FreeState]

18. It's way to early yet

San Diego hasn’t released any numbers outside or early voters - same for several other large areas.

[Codeine]

19. Not really.

He’ll win, but his delegate haul will be less than he needs to balance out what’s coming up in the next several primaries.

[rufus dog]

20. Bernie got 46% of the primary vote in 2016

The primary was in June. It was basically clear that HRC would be the nominee. Let the numbers come in and we can see how much the CA numbers reflect a strong support for Bernie.

We are a very liberal state but the early voting numbers helped Bernie, same day results will be the key.
