Clinton today is not directly calling on Sanders to withdraw, but subtly turning the focus on her campaign to the fall, just as, on May 16, 2008, Obama challenged Republican nominee John McCain to a foreign policy debate.
But Clinton is guaranteed to win the Democratic nomination if she dominates the California race.
On Wednesday, the Vermont senator urged his supporters the primaries were far from over. “The last 60 years or so he’s been on his own, intellectually anyway”. “It’s a marathon you run to the end”, said Representative Xavier Becerra. “This is just a suggestion until we find out what’s going on”, he remarked. “I want everybody to vote and everybody to help pick our next president”.
What Clinton does have – for both Democratic voters and the public overall – is the belief that she is qualified for the Presidency.
For all the talk about GOP disunity, though, Trump gets nearly exactly as much support from Republicans as Clinton gets from Democrats. Two have remained uncommitted. Those delegates include 93 pledged to Clinton and 47 pledged to Sanders from Florida’s 27 congressional districts. “Yet somehow we keep winning”, Weaver said. That’s enough to get a majority of the state’s 35 elected delegates.
Veteran Democrats estimate that more than 1,000 delegates will attend the convention on June 18.
Sanders’ supporters booed and protested the count, according to local media reports. Even Ehrenberg said he did not know.

Sanders faces an uphill battle to secure the nomination from the Democratic Party, the establishment within the party has favored his rival Hillary Clinton from the outset and insiders are now pressuring him to step down. Sanders, who’s been dogging Clinton throughout the Democratic presidential primaries, gained 31 percent support from our northern neighbor. And they are not sure most Sanders supporters would vote for her. That doesn’t mean they would vote for Trump.
“She should be glad the state has done away with straight-ticket voting”, Ehrenberg said. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a supporter of front-runner Hillary Clinton and broker of the post-primary peace between Clinton and then-Illinois Sen. Let me be as clear as I can be.
Some Sanders supporters upset with Saturday’s proceedings protested against Lange outside the Nevada State Democratic Party headquarters on Sunday.
He said, however, that Democratic candidates would be wise to reach out more aggressively to Sanders voters, and convince them not to stay home on Election Day. The rest claim that they would vote third party or not vote at all. Eleven percent said they wouldn’t vote.

Mr Sanders’s campaign saw its fundraising drop by about 40% last month and he has laid off hundreds of staffers. “It’s not employment for any extended period of time”, he said.
