Hillary Won CA By 13 Points

[stopbush]

I had predicted she would win by at least 7 points, maybe by double digits.

Well, I was sorta right.

[SaschaHM]

1. This was a massive victory and just goes to show...

that Hillary Clinton ran a winning campaign. Her massive GoTV in CA was impressive.

[eastwestdem]

37. I worked hard with my two college-student daughters for Hillary in CA!

After all those phone calls, the long hours canvassing, and driving people to the polls yesterday, it was so exhilarating to see the size of her win!! Mostly I'm proud that my millennial daughters are bright enough to tell the difference between enticing promises, and concrete, pragmatic plans.

[savalez]

42. You are AWESOME!!!

41. What people don't know

Obama's 2008 field ops team was running the show for Hillary entire campaign especially in states like ca,pa,ia,nv,ny,fl in Latino communities. It's gonna payoff in the general.

That surveyusa poll of +12 was dead on and nbc poll +2 was a outliner poll. I knew she was gonna win but I had it +8 based on sanders wasting money for three weeks in ca. I think that incident in San Jose with trump supporters and nv convention did sanders in. Those ppl who were in that brawl were same ppl who went after Hillary supporters in east la.

2. I can imagine how pleasantly surprised you were.. I know I was!

California!

[stopbush]

8. It was great to vote in CA yesterday, and it was nice to not be sweating

the results!

Hillary started off with such a YUGE lead with only 1-3% reporting that it was clear he was not going to come close to catching her.

A historic day!

BTW - I never felt that CA was in play. We are a heavily Democratic state that is doing great with our big majority of establishment Ds in the state legislature. Sanders' attacks on the party and the so-called Dem establishment fell on deaf ears out here. We like our establishment Ds in CA!

[Cha]

13. Thank you! But, he spent sooo much money and time trying to change your minds..

If he can't do that how's he going to change SuperDs' minds?

I hear he called the President to meet with him Thursday @ the White House.. maybe he wants Obama to give him his SuperD?

[fleabiscuit]

29. You are a worrier.

Those polls showing that HRC had a 13+ point advantage didn't start going down until the bulk of the mail-in votes were sent. The LV (likely votes) to poll got pretty skinny.

And you're a warrior!

Cha!

[Her Sister]

3. Not 1 or 2 points!?~~Just Amazing! Woah!!!! Boojah!!!

California, said to BS: "Thank You, but No Thanks!"

Thought he had made inroads with Hispanic voters?

NO MATTER!! AWESOME FOR HRC!!!
and she did it w/o negative ads!

4. Dancing in my chair right not

[Thinkingabout]

5. Well, this has been a surprise, a very welcome surprise, do you know the

Delegate count?

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. According to 538, Hillary's target was only 236, and she got 256. BS' target was 239, and he only..

got 191. All the races to date, and the resulting delegate hauls, are shown in here:

[Thinkingabout]

25. Thanks for the info. She actually got enough pledged delegates in California to give her the

majority of the pledged delegates. California was good to Hillary.

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. I wasn't confident about CA, so I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that not only did she..

win, but by double digits. I still haven't come back down to earth yet. What a way to finish. Next week, DC is going to be similar to NJ.

[Thinkingabout]

31. Yes, guess we were somewhat anxious to see the magic numbers reached, again I will be

following the numbers next week, this should seal the deal and allow the remainder of the super delegates to make their decisions.

[BlueCaliDem]

33. I was pretty certain CA would go to Hillary. Why? Because more and more Californians vote by mail,

and I knew the polls wouldn't take those into account. Also, those horrible fights breaking out between Sanders supporters and Trumpettes was on television almost constantly. This makes Californians uneasy. We rather vote for the candidate who can project a calm we desire, and that wasn't Sanders. And also, Sanders supporters, predominantly NPPs, would have had to jump through an extra hoop in order to cast their vote for him in the Democratic primary. Democrats who have been registered Democrats for years, didn't have to do that.

I was thinking that Hillary would take California by at least 7% but hoping for 10%. I'm happy to learn it's 13%!

[Tarheel_Dem]

35. I've been gun shy on polling ever since MI, and there were recent polls showing a 1 pt. difference.

So, imagine my relief that they were wrong.

[BlueCaliDem]

36. I guess they forgot to put the number "3" beside the "1". :-) That said, I didn't take any polls

seriously. I haven't for quite some time. It's nice to see polling numbers that show Hillary Clinton ahead, but that was just to 'feel good' and never to take seriously.

Tarheel.

40. Felt bad for 538

For being off on their projections for the primaries and getting abused by sanders supporters. Atleast on Twitter they took it and laughed it off.

[savalez]

43. I saw some of that.

But Nate did say that Hill would win, right?

[still_one]

6. I thought worst case it would be within 10 points, never thought it would be double digits

[stopbush]

10. There's a chance the lead could shrink down to single digits

but what does it matter? She has 2177 pledged delegates and 573 supers. 2750 total delegates when she needed only 2383 to win.

[still_one]

12. I guess there is, but with 94% of the vote in, I don't think so

15. Good.. he went up .1 more since I read it an hour ago.

Mahalo, stillone~

[still_one]

18. Looking at what happened yesterday, plus all primaries previous primaries, Hillary

won big time. Not even close


Thanks Cha

[workinclasszero]

7. BOOM!

The berners were so cocky about winning California too!

The YUUUUGE rallies!

[stopbush]

11. Didn't Sanders predict a win in CA?

God, he's self-obsessed.

[RussBLib]

14. most of his comments were....

IF there is a huge turnout, Bernie would win. And often, the huge turnout did not materialize.

I was (still am) a Bernie backer, but will certainly vote for Hillary in the GE. I hope she gives Bernie a high-profile spot during the convention and in her Administration (should she win the GE which seems like a high probability).

[stopbush]

19. Of course, it was Hillary who won when there was a big turnout, not Sanders.

Sanders needed a big turnout of either indies or people who don't normally vote in primaries. He got neither in CA. But turnout was still high.

[Legends303]

20. Not true, there was a big turnout in 2008

In CA, and clinton still beat obama in CA.

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. Hillary's win in CA in '08 was only 8 points. She blew past that last night to double digits. If..

only her opposition would acknowledge that she learned the lessons of '08 and put together a superior ground game this time. It's a fact that millions of us never Felt the Bern. The math doesn't lie.

[workinclasszero]

32. Yes she ran a great campaign

Mook is looking good right now too.

[stopbush]

22. 60,000 PEOPLE AT A RALLY IN OAKLAND!!

Not so many at the polls.

[Cha]

38. You're kidding.. "60,000"... wow.. BS must be feelin' the bern of losing?

[liberal N proud]

9. Bern't toast

[grossproffit]

16. We did our part and burned it down for HILLARY!

[robbedvoter]

17. Considering all the Republican effort to the contrary...

[WI_DEM]

21. Most of the polls had her up by only 2-points. She exceeded expectations in CA

SD and Montana.

[stopbush]

23. I'm guessing Ds decided that the Sanders experiment had runs its course

and it was time to get serious.

Besides, people like voting for the winner – once the AP put her over the top on Monday, why not vote for her on Tuesday?

[missingthebigdog]

27. K&R

and WooHoo!

[MFM008]

30. amazing.

i thought they would still be counting today.

[BootinUp]

34. I predicted 10-15 :)

[Cha]

39. So you know things.. Cool.
