53. Hillary's 9% ahead in California, and continued

counting could raise or lower that slightly. What it won't do is change the results.

Bernie knew that when he admitted yesterday that he wasn't going to be the nominee and that he would be one of the speakers at the convention if the organizers wanted him to be and not if they did not, though he believed they would.

Sanders is not pinning any hopes or worries on some enormous election fraud theory, and so, absolutely knowing that he'd fight like a lion if it were true, probably his supporters should take a clue from him.
