Sanders wins delegate-rich California, NBC News projects

NBC News projected Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., won last week's Democratic primary in California, the state with the most Super Tuesday delegates.

With 88 percent of the vote in, Sanders leads with 34.3 percent of the vote. Former Vice President Joe Biden is in second place, with 27.6 percent. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg are in third and fourth place, with 13.3 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively. Warren and Bloomberg have dropped out of the race.

California has 415 delegates at stake. Currently, Sanders has picked up 202 of them to Biden's 148, according to NBC News. Overall, Biden is leading the two-man field with 848 delegates. Sanders has 695.

Although California did not put Sanders in the lead, NBC News exit polls showed that he won 54 percent of voters under age 45, 49 percent of Latinos, 41 percent of liberals and 44 percent of independent-leaning voters. He also led all candidates among men and women, as well as among white and nonwhite voters.

I don’t think Bloomberg should have ever entered the race. He could have helped just as much by putting his money to defeating Trump (which he’s doing now) or supporting Biden.

Those Bloomberg supporters would have gone for Biden but were concerned by the misrepresentation of the media, also because of those that voted early here

The more solid Biden's win is, the less likely anyone is going to put up with nonsense from Sanders supporters at the convention and beyond.

Less drama, less media attention, fewer distractions.

P.S. I think it is because I am f'ing sick of having a finger waved in my face and being told I am not a 'real' Democrat but either a corporate or establishment Democrat depending on the day. I remember a Sanders poster basically saying I was selfish...to want a few comforts when I retire...I need to give it all up so Sanders can have what he wants. I have real resentment about this...nursing a grudge.
