OUR PLANNING AND WE WILL REACT ACCORDINGLY AND ADJUST
ACCORDINGLY.
ACCORDINGLY. >> STEVEN DILLINGHAM, THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
SO MUCH. >>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE BREAKING
NEWS OUT OF CALIFORNIA AND I
WANT TO GO STEVE KORNACKI FOR
THOSE RESULTS AS WE’VE BEEN
AWAITING THESE RESULTS FOR TEN
DAYS OR SO AT THIS POINT?
>> MARCH 3, SUPER TUESDAY.
THEN WE HAD MARCH 10 BUT GUESS
WHAT WE HAVE A CALL FROM THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
I DON’T KNOW WHY THE CHECKMARK
DIDN’T POP UP.
IT SHOULD HAVE.
I’LL PUT IT THERE.
BERNIE SANDERS, NBC NEWS NOW
DECLARES THE WINNER OF
CALIFORNIA’S PRIMARY.
CALIFORNIA’S PRIMARY. THEY ARE STILL COUNTING VOTES
THERE.
THERE. THERE ARE STILL A LOT TO COME IN
THERE.
THERE. CALIFORNIA OF COURSE THE STATE
WHERE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POST
MARK YOUR BALLOT AND PUT IT IN
THE MAILBOX BY ELECTION DAY.
THEY’LL COUNT IT.
NOT ONLY IS THERE THAT DELAY,
THEY TAKE A WHILE TO COUNT.
THEY HAVE NOW COUNTED UP ENOUGH
AND REPORTED ENOUGH WHERE EVEN
WITH A BIG NUMBER STILL TO COME,
NBC NEWS IS CONFIDENT BERNIE
SANDERS WILL END UP AHEAD WHEN
ALL IS SAID AND DONE.
WHAT’S NOTABLE ABOUT THESE
RESULTS THOUGH OBVIOUSLY NOT
JUST THE DELAY, THE FACT OF THE
DELAY BECAUSE THE POLLING GOING
INTO CALIFORNIA OF COURSE WHICH
WAS BEFORE JOE BIDEN REALLY
SUDDENLY STARTED TO TAKE OFF
WITH SOUTH CAROLINA, THE POLLING
IN CALIFORNIA HAD SUGGESTED A
SANDERS LEAD OF 15 POINTS OR 20
POINTS.
POINTS. IT SUGGESTED THE POSSIBILITY
JUST A WEEK BEFORE THE
CALIFORNIA PRIMARY.
CALIFORNIA PRIMARY. THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY IT
LOOKED LIKE JOE BIDEN MIGHT NOT
EVEN HIT 15% IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT’S THAT CRITICAL NUMBER TO
GET DELEGATES.
GET DELEGATES. I THINK WHAT YOU SAW HERE WAS
THE FOLKS WHO WAITED UNTIL
ELECTION DAY ITSELF OR A DAY OR
TWO BEFORE, THAT SOUTH CAROLINA
RESULT WHERE JOE BIDEN WON SO
BIG ON THAT SATURDAY BEFORE
SUPER TUESDAY, THERE WAS A LATE
FLOOD OF BIDEN VOTES.
THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING.
THE MORE THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN
COMING IN HERE IN CALIFORNIA,
THE TIGHTER THIS HAS GOTTEN.
IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH FOR BIDEN
TO CATCH SANDERS, BUT CERTAINLY
FROM A DELEGATE STANDPOINT WE
CAN SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
DELEGATE-WISE IN CALIFORNIA
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SINGLE ONE.
THERE ARE 415 TOTAL.
WE’RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
SOME OF THE CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS.
DISTRICTS. BUT LOOK, SANDERS 202, BIDEN
148.
148. THAT’S OBVIOUSLY GOOD FOR
SANDERS.
SANDERS. IT’S 54 MORE THAN BIDEN.
WHAT THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN WAS
THINKING ABOUT A WEEK MAYBE
BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY,
BEFORE BIDEN TOOK OFF, THEY
THOUGHT THEY MIGHT GET
330 DELEGATES OUT OF THIS THING.
BIDEN MAKES CALIFORNIA MORE
COMPETITIVE, LIMITS THAT SANDERS
