Sanders: Don't look at Puerto Rico. Look at My Rallies

Bernie Sanders is making no mention of the outcome of Puerto Rico's Democratic primary, but says the party's leaders should notice the "energy and grassroots activism" surrounding his campaign.

Hillary Clinton won a decisive victory in Puerto Rico on Sunday, putting her within striking distance of capturing her party's nomination.

Sanders is seeking an upset in Tuesday's California primary. He said at a Sunday evening rally in San Diego that Democratic leaders should realize his campaign has the energy to win in the fall, not Clinton.

But he never came close to becoming POTUS. At the end of the day, it's votes and having the support of your party's base that matters.
