There is nothing Bernie can do in CA that will make a difference. Hillary will hit 2383 before the vote in CA even comes in. Any CA delegates for Hillary are just padding.

Thus securing all 475 pledged delegates and carrying him to the nomination.

Whatever happened to DU user "berniepdx", or something like that? He was a big proponent of the sweep theory.

I suppose it would give him even more clout. Personally, I doubt he'll win it.

A primary vote is more than just about who is at the top of the ticket. It's your chance to express your opinion on the future direction of the Party.

And Hillary keeps sliding against trump. Bernie will walk into the convention and plead his case. Elected superdelegates will then have to make a decision.
