Bernie Sanders Weakened Heading Into California
by ALEX SEITZ-WALD

Throughout his campaign, California has been Bernie Sanders' promised land — a progressive state rich in delegates and a reliable source of hope, just over the horizon.

"We think we have a path toward victory, and that path absolutely must go through California," Sanders told the Los Angeles Times in March.

But now, with California's June 7 primary finally coming into view, Sanders may be heading into the Golden State hobbled.

Despite notching two wins this month, with more likely to come, Sanders is running lower on cash than expected and replaced his top official in California Wednesday. Meanwhile, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has moved to solidify her support in the state, which she won comfortably over Barack Obama in 2008.

1. Bernie will be looking for help in retiring his campaign debt...

Just watch.

2. Replacing the guy who wanted to build a ground game...

is an admission Bernie doesn't actually want to win. Putting ads on tv is not a winning strategy, sorry. Nor is holding a series of big rallies.

Bernie is running for a much different role than that of President, and that's just fine. He should just be honest about it.

3. I'll bet the the VIOLATIONS of campaign finance laws isn't helping Bernie's campaign either.

People tend to notice things like that. (You know... now that they're "getting to know Bernie better" it seems to me that they're not liking what they see.)

4. The question is not whether or not he could win CA

He needs to beat Hillary by 30 points, and that's BEFORE we consider what happens in NJ. Even if he breaks even with her in NJ, the amount he needs to win CA by goes up.
