Bernie Sanders might say, huge. Nearly one-fifth of the total delegates needed for the Democratic presidential nomination are up for grabs here. The number of pledged delegates alone for the blue party here is 475. While late-in-the-game timing has made the Golden State irrelevant in past presidential elections, this June things could be a little more exciting even as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump take their seats as the self-appointed nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively. Support for Sanders among young Californians is devotional. But at this point in the game, he really doesn't have a chance. Even more so, when money gets tight.

SidDithers (40,102 posts) Sun May 1, 2016, 03:22 PM16. You should check out some of the other "analysis" done by thepoliticalanalyzer... POLL: SANDERS LEADS CLINTON BY 8% IN NEW YORK THAT’S WHY SANDERS LEADING WITH 58% IN NEW YORK SANDERS IS GOING TO WIN NEW YORK WITH 58% SANDERS WILL REACH 2470 DELEGATES. THAT’S WHY BERNIE HAS 10-POINT LEAD IN ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI BERNIE SANDERS IS OVERTAKING HILLARY CLINTON IN FLORIDA Has this guy been right about anything?
VOX (15,866 posts) Sun May 1, 2016, 10:52 PM20. Did you read the "About" page on this guy's blog? "Italian Psychologist and Political Scientist. Social Media Expert, Trends and Sentiment Analyzer, Memetica Expert, Frames Guru, Storyteller, Marketing and Communication, Musician, Rapper, Writer, Ghostwriter, and many more." Not exactly a skilled statistician. He's just some dude who's cherry-picking data and "projecting" using his own fantasies to shape it. Dreadfully amateurish stuff.
