Bernie Sanders Projected To Win California With 61.25% Gaining 398 Delegates

[CountAllVotes]

Polling in California gives a clear indication Bernie will win with 61.25%. This also could give him enough delegates to take the lead over Hillary. As we posted in “How Bernie Sanders Is Going To Win”

If you are a Bernie Supporter who does Phone Banking, this is the moment you need to dedicate more time then you ever have before. California is by far the most important state in this race.

Great news! Sanders for President 2016!

Ahead in California which is no surprise to me!

398 Delegates are on Bernie Sanders' way! & Feel The Bern!

[TheFarseer]

3. Wow

That would be just amazing.

[bjo59]

4. It creeps me out that there will be no exit polling in California.

[Jennylynn]

5. Me too

I'm afraid to get excited about this cuz, you know, Az., Il., etc.

[LiberalElite]

22. Yeah - I

have stopped counting those chicks before they hatch.

[Joob]

20. How do they do exit polling anyways?

[Nyan]

6. This is why he had to drop out (before California)

[CountAllVotes]

7. Bernie Sanders is going nowhere

But straight to the White House in 2017!

8. HOT F'ING DAMN!!!!!!

This needs to be spread around to keep the troops pumped!! I think he will get PR and New Mexico as well. About 60 for PR, 34 in NM. Add that to the 398 and you get 492. So with the split I'm guessing Bernie could get about 400 in one week! WOW. Then I hope to get HC's pic off my computer. I'm sick of looking at her.

13. Well, I hope so but I am in NM and you would not believe the

band of idgits running the party here. Complete nincompoops. HRC is Deeply Entrenched. Closed primary.
The last governor's race they ran Gary King, son of Bruce King. In the 70's when Texas tried to STEAL our water, Bruce threatened to call out the Enchilada Air Force and bomb them. Texas was drilling water wells on our side of the eastern boundary. Bruce was like God here, Gary, not so much. He won the D-primary with only 20% of voters turning out then went on to be crushed by Suzanna Martinez--the worst governor ever. She had to win so she could be Jeb!s VP but that didn't work out for her. Local news tonight said she will NOT be attending Trump's rally here next week. Bubba will be here too at the same time. I have some hope but not a lot....sorry

[LiberalElite]

23. I don't look at her - just like I avoided looking at Cruz -

she nauseates me THAT MUCH.

[jillan]

28. Agree. She is too fake for me. I'm good at reading people and I don't like her

body language or the way she rolls her eyes at people that question her.

[Land of Enchantment]

9. K&R! Thanks! nt

[CountAllVotes]

10. You are welcome!

Brightens up a very grim day for me. I hope the same is true for you.

[Land of Enchantment]

11. Aw

something personal or the interminable bs going on here?

I've gone a few rounds here this evening, not much fun. This might bring you some cheer!

[CountAllVotes]

12. Yeah I'm sick again

and my cat is near death.

I'm admittedly at the end of my rope.

[Jennylynn]

14. :(

[Flying Squirrel]

21. Next time I have a cat near death

I'm putting him down. It was so awful watching the last one die. (I'm sure it was no picnic for him either)

[CountAllVotes]

27. Going to take her to see someone else today

In my decrepit condition we will go! I got the name of someone else and they told me the place I took her too was a batch of crooks!

I'll be taking her there today to find out what they think the problem is.

She is absolutely the sweetest cat I've ever had the pleasure of having and I'm not ready to let her go quite yet until I have some answers at to what the problem is.

Glad to know that those other people are crooks because when I get better, I'll sue the fuckers. Yes I will. That you can believe in. Seems they charged $1500 on a lady's credit card that is disabled without her consent. I'm going after these SOBs, believe me because I hate hearing about this kind of crap and what about the next person out there?!

[Flying Squirrel]

31. Some people are a lot sicker than the average person.

Hope you are able to stop these ones. Good luck with your cat.

[jillan]

29. Sending you virtual hugs.

Hope you and kitty feel better

[NJCher]

16. I'm sorry

Life can be very damned difficult at times.

17. Sure hope so!

Go Bernie GO!!!!!!!!!!!

19. That's great news, but the math is misleading

First, I hope Bernie can pull off that margin of victory here in California. There is a ton of enthusiasm for him. An exit poll would be informative too.

But the 398 figure (she would get 147) is derived by multiplying California's total delegate count by 0.73 (73%), which was Bernie's percentage in Washington (pretty random if you ask me, and definitely best case).

With the 61.25% he is apparently polling at (I'm taking their word for it), he gets 334 delegates, she gets 212 (rounding).

We definitely need to do all we can in these last few primaries. Phone bank, tabling (too late now for registration changes), door knocking efforts, sticker up anything that is yours and gets seen, yard signs, attend Bernie Light Brigade events or Honk and Waves, let's see what we can do and figure out what to do next after the primary.

There are a lot of storm clouds around Team Clinton these days, from FBI investigations to alarmingly high negative polling, and her poor polling in a head-to-head against Trump, not to mention a late surge by Sanders. Plenty of reasons to fight to the end.

24. I'm not trying to be a killjoy

But I don't think 61.25% is going to be enough. He needs to win with closer to 70% to turn this around. This IS his last hurrah (along with the other states). He can go to the convention with less pledged delegates than her, but he has to stop her from going over the number of delegates needed with only the pledged ones.

California is my birth state (don't tell anyone I admitted that ok?) so I'm rooting for a big win there.

30. David isn't a troll

Please consider deleting. He's pointing out a fact and one we should keep in mind imo.

Bernie may not get the number he needs to overtake Clinton but it would be good if he prevents her from getting the magic number too. It makes the convention so much more important.

[davidpdx]

34. Thank you rider

I've been here since 2008 and have almost 22,000 posts. Some people are just fucking loony.

[Jester Messiah]

26. I'm just waiting to see how she's gonna steal it this time. n/t

[Duckfan]

32. i'M SENDING HIM SOME $$$ NOW

Best I can do at moment is $15. After first, a little more.

[Joob]

33. How much he NEEDS and If this was right.. (LOTS of MATH)

California has 475 pledged delegates

(disclaimer: all this math is if Bernie has 1499 pledged delegates and Clinton has 1771 pledged delegates)
(also: I get different percentages, but all that matters is how much pledged delegates he wins)

Bernie would need 128.5remaining pledged delegates after the win
Hillary would need 177.5 remaining pledged delegates after the lost

He'd be in the lead of pledged delegates!!

Regardless, after counting Cali, 306 pledged delegates would remain.

Bernie would need 41.99346405228758% of remaining pledged delegates

Hillary would need 58.00653594771242% of remaining pledged delegates


NOW. let me see if I can get that number.. 398 delegates...
For me.. when i do the math 398 of 475 is 83.78947368421053% of 475

not 61.25%.For that, I get 290.9375 pledged delegates, round to 291 Then.. let's see.
After adding everything...

Bernie would need 235.5 pledged delegates
Hillary would need 15 more pledged delegates.
(this would be if Bernie only wins 291 pledged delegates)

He would need 76.96078431372549% of remaining pledged delegates after winning
She would need 4.90196078431373% of remaining pledged delegates after losing.

So he definitely can't let her win that much delegates.


At the end of the day. After all the math. Bernie has a 272 pledged delegate gap. Right?
He would need a 388.5 pledged delegate win. To tie it up!
(And I get 81.78947368421053% win of Cali with that!)


If any of my math is wrong please explain where I went wrong Also, I'm not sure how they split their delegates so that's probably why the percentages I'm getting is different.)
