What sidehatch said.
This is one of three populous states that Sanders needed more than a "good showing" - he needed to outright win and failing to do so means that he needs to win PA and CA by unattainable numbers (PA where he trails by 10 he now needs to win by 14 and CA by 15, where he now trails by 13 points).
He's simply running out of time and his ground game is considerably behind in the populous states.

I enjoy, that the comments were disabled for the video. how, interesting of cruz to not let the people, speak. but yes, the wo/hillary/man gives face for days. guurrl.
is it safe to say it is trump vs Hillary, now? are people still thinking that some kind of craziness is going to erupt at the convention?

it is certain cra-cra will be present at the RNC…but looking like Trump will get the nom
I'm not sure the rest of the party likes cruz more than trump
hard to say
honestly they should just write of 2016 and focus on the future (and maybe even the present while they are still in congress)

cool interactive:
How the Rest of the Delegate Race Could Unfold - play with the vote % and see the impact on delegate counts.
for the GOP, The Donald needs to average 42% the rest of the way as a bare minimum if he wants to avoid a contested convention. has there ever been a presidential nomination race where California was this important?
for the Dems, it's over. even if Bernie gets 70% of the remaining votes, he doesn't close the gap.

Important is an interesting word, but the last time CA's primary mattered for the Republican's was 1976 when Reagan beat Ford, but still lost the nomination. Some argued that it both cost the R's the 1976 general election and setup Reagan for the win in 1980.
For the Dem's it was 1972 when McGovern clinched over Humphrey. Back then the CA primary was winner take all and CA was a huge deal. Now both parties split the delegates based on votes and CA no longer sways the parties one way or another.
I would argue, however, that the most important Primary in CA history was RFK in 1968. After winning and perhaps securing the nomination, he was assassinated leaving the hotel post victory speech.

Please tell me that you did not just figure this out because of this interactive map…

Donald Trump has only one path to the GOP nomination. And he has himself to blame for it.

the interactive put a number on what was known but not quantified.

That's a political journalist's take, not a political scientist's take.

Not yet. While last night aided Trump a lot, he's not yet in the comfortable spot Hillary is in. This can still be undone by Indiana and California.
