Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads the Democratic primary field in California by 18 points, according to a survey released Wednesday.
In the poll from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) first reported by the Los Angeles Times, Sanders has the support of 32 percent of likely voters.
Joe Biden registered support from 14 percent of poll respondents, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) trailed the former vice president by 1 percentage point in the survey. Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg (D) were tied at 12 percent each.

I really want this guy to get the nod.
I think he’ll win 6 or 7 states.
ALTHOUGH..people love free stuff.
What is huge is if Sanders wins California WITHOUT any other candidate reaching the 15% threshold. If he does that, Sanders will take all of the delegates from California. Effectively it would be a winner-take-all situation.
I don’t get it. Do those people know what they are doing to themselves by supporting Bernie? Do they know the impact his policies will have on everyday folks?
Just drive through Garden City NY and saw Sanders lawn signs. To explain, Garden City is a large village on Long Island that is home to business, financial, and advertising upper level employees. It voted Trump in 16, Romney in 12, McCain in 08 and both Bushes. Seeing Sanders lawn signs there, even a few is not good.
Frankly the guy scares me. He has a lot of support and Dems will eventually vote for him no matter what it does to America just to get rid of Trump.
There was a separate California poll yesterday that was much different. It had Bernie at 25% and Bloomberg up to 21%.
Mayor Pete bringing up the rear, time for him to pull out.
Looks like it’s Bernie or Doomberg. Probably Bernie.
oh wow. Yeah I have Very Little idea how the primaries work.
I learn them every four years.
And then forget again :)
The Santa Clause syndrome: everything is free and you don’t have to work. What’s not to like?
I feel like most of Bernie’s supporters are miserable and want everyone else to be miserable.
California is the free-shit center of the universe. Of course Sanders is leading.
The Vanguard of the Proletariat!
CA, OR, WA, NY, MA, DC, VT.........................

The Democratic front runner isn’t even a Democrat.
And he has the backing of billionaires even though he wants to outlaw billionaires.
It really is the twilight zone.

Some in the Bernie camp are true communists. But I think many of them are just enthralled by the Bernie persona. He’s like everybody’s favorite old uncle, a zany rebel.
I would remind that latter group of another old uncle, Uncle Joe Stalin. Once that guy gained power, he wasn’t so much fun after all.
Kinda like Obama supporters and that is scary to me. I see many signs almost everywhere I go just like Obama and in places I never would imagine to see supporters.
