Crowds don't translate into votes. That crowd looks like Facebook.

HRC will have so much more money, unlike last time where Obama matched and outraised her.

Right, I forgot that money translates into votes. Because that worked out real well for Meg Whitman in a Republican landslide year.

Meg Whitman had a 30% registration rate and a state full of welfare recipients to deal with. A general election electorate vs. primary electorate anyway, apples and oranges. Sanders will get no where.  If polls start to close, the Democrat machine will stop him.

Only 3 Democrats have been elected governor of California in over 75 years. As of 2010, Republicans had the governorship for 23 of the last 28 years.

Because the registration rate didn't start dramatically dropping until the last decade.  Until and unless Sanders gets competitive financially, he has no chance.

Whether Hillary or Obama technically won the popular vote is pretty irrelevant. The point is that it was close to a draw. Yet many people talk about the 2008 primary as if Obama completely demolished Hillary.

Right - the same folks who decided that Florida and Michigan should be disenfranchised.  Facts escape them.  Frankly, she won the popular vote and the Democrat delegates overturned it.  My opinion.
