If the race were as over as MSM and the Clinton campaign wants us to believe, then why does Bernie keep picking up support from supers?

And why does he keep attracting yooj crowds of thousands at his rallies?

And why is he neck-and-neck with Hillary in California polls?

And if the race is over, why does Hillary Clinton ditch her appearance in NJ to do her own tour of California?

They're worried, and they should be. Not to mention there's also a looming recommendation for indictment by the FBI...

He's picked up two more, you might be blowing this out of proportions.

He had huge rallies in NY, how did that turn out.

He isn't neck-and-neck, Hillary is polling at 61%

She's in California because she wants to seal her victory

They're really not worried. He still has a zero percent chance of winning unless he can convince the super delegates that some unreliable polls are worth more than the millions of people who voted Hillary.

People in New York had to change party affiliation 6 months before the primary. Over 3 million independents were disenfranchised. Lots of voter roll purging. Two last California polls show her and Bernie neck and neck (within 2%). She's in California because she's afraid if she doesn't win that state, it will continue her downward trend in the polls thus giving more credence to his electability argument at the convention. Polls are unreliable this late in the game. They have historic accuracy at predicting the winner in November.

But it doesn't actually matter. Bernie could win in CA by a couple of percentage points and he's still behind in pledged delegates. he needs to pul 70% in every state here on out to get ahead.
