Doesn't really matter if Bernie does well today

The AP finally put him on full ignore.

The job now is to create some enthusiasm around a second Clinton administration. That could be more difficult.

I think there is all the enthusiasm there is ever going to be.

Glad it is not my job - I couldn't/wouldn't do it. I am out.

And yes, it matters if Bernie does well today. Maybe not to you, is all.

Winning CA does not negate the other states that voted, nor do its delegates "count more" than those from prior contests. It is symbolically the largest state, but never the most important.
