I'm not seeing much going on in Socal for Bernie Sanders

[flamingdem]

is anyone involved down here? (As opposed to "up there" all you Bay Area-ers.)

1. See more Bernie bumper stickers

Than any other candidate. Including repukes. San Diego and OC.

2. california is pretty much irrelevant in primary politics these days nt

[intrepidity]

5. Why?

[petronius]

6. Our primary is very late, and things are usually pretty-much decided by the time

our turn comes. But if the race stays competitive up to the end then we have a better chance of mattering. That may be more likely on the Republican side this year, with so many clowns in the car, but who knows: maybe our race will still be tight in June as well...

[intrepidity]

7. Hmmm... thanks.

I'm still going to behave as though we matter

[petronius]

8. Well, WE know that we matter, it's just the rest of the country that's

a little confused about our importance!

And of course, there are plenty of important things on that ballot to be excited about even if Bernie er, Hillary um, Bernie, er Hillary, uhh, somebody has already been chosen...

3. I have a friend in Laguna Beach who's been trying to change hearts and minds for Bernie.

He's a senior citizen, and is actively involved in seniors' issues as well as in City Council public hearings and other community matters.

Laguna's split almost evenly between Democrats and Republicans. According to him, Bernie's got Laguna in the bag as far as the Democrats and Trump's the clear winner among the Republicans.

And catch this: a number of Republicans have told him that they could vote for Bernie if their candidate (Trump or otherwise) isn't the nominee - but would rather walk into the Pacific than even think of voting for Hillary.

That seems to be a common sentiment wherever you go, frankly, and should definitely tell Democrats something about her electability. Or lack thereof.

4. Wow, Laguna? That was pretty Republican not long ago

Orange County is changing I see.
