The California primary is next Tuesday, June 7th.
Clinton is currently polling a few points ahead of Sanders; he's really narrowed the gap. I won't be terribly shocked if Bernie wins, but I will be terribly shocked if he does so by such a landslide that he surpasses Clinton's total earned/voter delegates. The closer he gets to her earned/voter delegates though, the more his considerable leverage to influence the platform grows.
I didn't even realize that Sanders was at the Warriors game last night until I saw a pic in the news this morning; he was somewhere in the middle of the crowd. He used to play basketball and has been campaigning his ass off in the state. He was already in Oakland for a rally earlier in the day.
Sanders was asked in an interview if he'll tell his supporters to vote for Clinton if he loses the Democratic nomination. He said he would do every thing in his power to keep Donald Trump from becoming President, but he won't tell people who they should vote for and that it's up to Clinton to earn people's votes.
Anyway, after next Tuesday, barring any huge surprises, it will be Donald Trump (R ) vs. Hillary Clinton (D) vs. Gary Johnson (Libertarian), vs. Jill Stein (Green Party).
This weekend, Bill Kristol, conservative Republican commentator and political analyst, sent out a tweet claiming that "an impressive Independent candidate with a strong team and real chance" would be entering the race. I'm highly skeptical that there's enough time for someone to make a serious run now. And, I also think it would be political suicide for an impressive candidate to try to splinter the GOP vote again. I haven't seen any more about the identity of this supposed new candidate.
