A Sanders primary victory in California is meaningless for the GE.

[highplainsdem]

That's a Democratic stronghold. GE polling done in California usually shows all Democratic candidates beating Trump by a wide margin.

Other states are much better tests of how a candidate will do in the GE.

1. As is Vermont.

The only significant Sanders win last night was Colorado.

2. Under the circumstances, Bernie had a terrific showing!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

4. "Under the circumstances" - what are you implying?

[honest.abe]

7. Like under the circumstances of failing.

Sanders under performed everywhere yesterday.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Wrong... once Bernie & Elizabeth join forces, they will prevail...

it's the exact same situation as when Joe's primary rivals dropped out. Bernie will get a HUGE boost when Elizabeth drops out... but of course Bernie is not gonna pressure Elizabeth to do so... it's completely up to her. There's still plenty of timeto let democracy work!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

11. Warren will never endorse Sanders.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Not true, but I can see why the idea of Elizabeth endorsin Bernie wud make Biden supporters nervous.

Best of luck to your candidate though... may the best candidate win!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

5. And he won Colorado only because of massive early voting, before Joe's SC win.

[honest.abe]

8. Yep.

Thanks for that.

3. So are most of those Southern States that are deep Red

Florida a big key... Wisconsi, Michigan, PA. The Electoral College sucks...most of us are irrelevant in the General when it comes to President

6. It does when you need to add up delegates just to get to the GE.

Pretty important 1st step, that.

Plurality? Majority? Brokered?

[Magoo48]

9. That's the way to form continuity, call others votes meaningless.

[mcar]

13. We southern Democrats have had our votes called meaningless

for a long time.

[Magoo48]

16. Well, that's fucked up too. A vote is a personal expression and never meaningless to individuals.

The votes are now generally rendered irrelevant our oligarch overlords, but I don’t believe they are ever meaningless to us.

[llmart]

12. I wouldn't say it's meaningless...

but I'm fairly certain that CA isn't going to go for Trump.

[thesquanderer]

15. I don't think ANY primary results are terribly relevant for the GE. Not limited to blue states.

Though ironically, there was recently another post about how SC results weren't very relevant to the GE because it was a solid red state, and there were people who found that insulting.

But yeah, I think no result in a solid red or solid blue state matters for the general (which certainly doesn't mean they don't matter now!); and even have limited relevance in the purple states.
