This could mean one or two things.

1. Internal polling shows Hillary will win CA
2. Word has gotten out that the campaign ends tomorrow no matter what happens (Bernie drops out)

I think it's probably mostly #2. And if it is, expect the volume of leaks and insider information to increase over the next 36 hours.

EDIT: Another big clue: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512137542

[Thinkingabout]

1. It will be on to the next phase.

[beachbum bob]

2. like really? When you end up losing...of course you a solemn...california or not its over

nobody says bernie should "drop out" , he needs to act like an adult and start unifying..... as the election for all intents and purposes, is officially NOT about him any more

[Demsrule86]

14. That is nonsense

Of course, he needs to concede and endorse. If he wants to wait a day or two fine...or even waste his time calling supers...Ok by me...but if he intends to as his surrogate Tad said yesterday to barnstorm across the country...in order to gain the attention of supers...it is not ok.

[itsrobert]

3. It is too late for his staff and surrogates to cut and run

to Hillary. They dug their own graves.

[YouDig]

7. I disagree. As long as Bernie concedes in the next week or even next week, it's forgiven.

Still a long time till November or even till the convention. Still time for Bernie to do the right thing.

[Renew Deal]

9. Talented people will always find work

And I'm certain there is some talent in the Sanders camp.

Did you know that Devine has never had a major role in a winning campaign?

[itsrobert]

21. He has a winning bank account.

Nobody needs to worry about him. He made plenty off those $27 donations.

[MADem]

35. The ones he has fired in the last 2 months have a shot!

If they haven't been hired already!

[LoverOfLiberty]

4. Its Monday morning

after a long, long weekend of drinking.

[seabeyond]

5. I will gain a smidgen more respect back if Sanders does the right thing. And, no more attack, but an

embracing and done with primary.

I hope you are right. I hope he does the right thing. If not, it matters not to Clinton. I think she will come out of any chaos strong. She won't be the one stepping over the line. Merely be the observer. It will be a punishment to Sanders reputation.

[Renew Deal]

11. They should fear Obama

You can do or say whatever you want about most of the DNC, but Obama is a master politician and will cut the Sanders camp to bits if they don't do the right thing.

[seabeyond]

13. Obama stands tall, for sure. What a pleasure the last 8 yrs. Nt

[BootinUp]

6. I can't imagine why.

I mean this will be a contested convention and all. I'm sure the troops will be all fired up again after he gets walloped on Tuesday.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. ...

[Demsrule86]

10. I think he may lose California

There has been a great deal of ...to the convention even if I lose California...blah blah. No matter what he loses tomorrow when Jersey comes in.

[BootinUp]

12. Clinton wins CA by 10-15 pts nt

[Demsrule86]

28. I think she might

They have been campaigning hard...and Bill is there. He is very effective....I hear Chelsea and the baby will be with her on Tuesday too.

[Renew Deal]

15. I noticed the same thing

They went from "we will win" to "remember the Alamo."

Same thing happened in NY.

[Demsrule86]

29. And Bernie sounded quite bitter and angry ...more so than usual nt.

[Exilednight]

16. link?

[Renew Deal]

19. TV news report from around 9:40 EDT.

But the part in quotes is her words.

[Exilednight]

23. that doesn't provide context of quote.

[Renew Deal]

26. I know. Here is what I know though it probably doesn't help...

Turr is assigned to the Sanders camp. She was talking about what the campaign was like today put this out there.

[yellowcanine]

17. California results may not be final until Thursday or Friday......

Mail in ballots can be posted until 8 pm on Tuesday.

I don't see Bernie dropping out before it is known if he won or lost in California.

After that I think he might negotiate with Clinton for some concessions on the platform in return for his support. A week or two are not going to matter in the grand scheme of things. It is not as if Trump is using the time wisely anyway.

[Surya Gayatri]

22. Understatement thread win:

"It is not as if Trump is using the time wisely anyway."

[eastwestdem]

33. The best part is that there will be only one victory party on Tuesday night...when Hillary clinches!

If it takes a few days for CA, that's good for her campaign either way. Obviously, good if she wins, but if she loses, the results will have been drug out for so long, that the power of the loss is reduced. And, even if Sanders decides to have some sort of victory rally, several days later it will be pretty pathetic after Hillary has already been declared the presumptive nominee, and the media attention has shifted to Trump v. Clinton.

[geek tragedy]

18. given the circumstances, this is pretty much what people would predict nt

[CrowCityDem]

20. He probably sticks it out one more week...

since he's always said he's staying in until everyone has voted (unless he wants to insult the black voters in DC). But after that, I would think everyone in the party would make it clear to him that he has ZERO chance of flipping anyone, and it's over. If he fought on past then, all he would do is ruin his own reputation.

[hrmjustin]

24. I think reality is setting in. He put up a good fight but reality is setting in.

[LuvLoogie]

25. 3rd possibility: He's gearing up for a very public shit storm in Philly.

And people don't really want to go there. But he does.

[Renew Deal]

27. That's possible

But I don't think he's so crazy to do that without an organization.

[Renew Deal]

30. Another clue: Clinton camp predicting victory

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512137542

[eastwestdem]

31. Or it's solemn because his opponent will clinch the nomination tomorrow?

By itself, that would seem to be enough.

[mcar]

32. K&R

[stevenleser]

34. Bernie needs to win California by 80-20 for it to matter.

Even 80-20 won't close the delegate gap completely, but it would be an earth-shattering statement.

A close result, which now it looks like it will be, won't do anything for him.

[lumberjack_jeff]

36. Fairly typical disinfo.

At this point, we all expected something like this from team Clinton today.
