Bernie Sanders has become a Democratic favorite, and he continues to spread his revolution near and far, with no sign of slowing down. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has dominated the polls, and has gained popularity for putting Donald Trump in his place.
If we are to look at the numbers, who has the better chance at winning big in California tomorrow? After winning in Puerto Rico, Clinton only needs 28 more delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination (a number she could easily surpass if she wins in California). Clinton also has 547 superdelegates, whereas Bernie Sanders has a mere 46. Sanders told reporters from The Associated Press on Saturday that he plans on lobbying superdelegates that had already pledged their support to Clinton. In other words, he's going to steal them away from her.
On Sunday, Bernie Sanders spoke to Jake Tapper and unleashed fury against Hillary Clinton. He attacked Clinton for supporting fracking, and he questioned her foundation for taking money from governments overseas. He mentioned Saudi Arabia as being one of her donation backers.
So, does Bernie Sanders have a prayer in winning the all-important California Primary? Numbers-wise: it will be a stretch. Recent numbers show that he does have increasing support. In fact, one report showed that he leads over Clinton by 1%.
Is the support and recent poll numbers enough to steal the win away from Hillary Clinton? We shall see.
