“No one can predict the future, but I think we have a real shot to win primaries in a number of the states that will be coming up. And don't tell Secretary Clinton because she might get nervous,” said Bernie Sanders to his supporters in Carson, California after winning Oregon and losing Kentucky by a small margin last night. “I think we're going to win here in California.”
So, though Hillary has a strong lead in the delegate race, Sanders is showing no signs of backing down. In fact, Sanders has vowed to take his fight all the way until the June 14 voting in the District of Columbia and beyond to the July convention in Philadelphia.
With all of this, Hillary Clinton's Kentucky win was just a joyless victory in a week that exposed a deep Democratic rift. And now the only question is will Sanders use his momentum in the June primaries. And the most important one is one in California, scheduled for Tuesday, June 6, as it gives 475 delegates, far more than any other country does.
Now, Hillary is likely to build a brisk campaign schedule for the coming stretch, hoping to minimize her opponent’s delegate count. California polls are certainly going in her favor, as the most recent ones show that she has a strong 49.7% to 40.6% lead, with 7.6% undecided.
Sanders recently had some bad news as a handful of high-level staffers left his campaign, including three of the four members of his original senior leadership team in California. This, and the fact that he lost all the big states, put Hillary as a big favorite, but if you think that Sanders can use his recent momentum to win California as well, you have great odds at Fairlay market:
