From what I understand there won't be any surprises today. Trump and Hillary to win most if not all states and get a a huge share of the days delegates.
Trump will call for Lyin' Ted and Kasich to get out in a gloating victory speech and you won't hear a word from either of those two on their defeat.
Hillary will call for Sanders supporters to get behind her and Sanders will commit to take it to the convention.
But it’s now becoming obvious that Sanders is, if anything,
ratcheting down expectations for this endgame. One potentially key tell was on display in the four interviews that Sanders gave yesterday to the Sunday Shows:
One on ABC,
one on CBS,
one on NBC, and
one on CNN.
In every one of them, Sanders repeated variations of the formulation: “We’re going to take our campaign through California.” “We intend to take the fight all the way through California.” “We’re in this race to California.” “We’re going to fight for every last vote until California and the D.C. primary.” In other words, Sanders promised to battle until the final votes are cast, which he
has every reason and incentive to do.
But this appears less ambitious than what Sanders telegraphed only a week ago. Last Sunday
he was asked directly whether he would take the contest “all the way to the floor in Philadelphia,” and he replied: “Yup.” Last week Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver
flatly stated: “We’re going to go to the convention.”
Now, Sanders’s current vow — to fight until California — does not necessarily mean his campaign won’t continue beyond that point to try to lure super-delegates to ditch Clinton and support him instead. But there are other signs the Sanders campaign is shifting its focus from such a last-ditch effort to win the nomination to an effort to extract policy concessions from expected nominee Clinton. The New York Times
reports today:
Aides to Mr. Sanders have been pressing party officials for a significant role in drafting the platform for the Democratic convention in July, aiming to lock in strong planks on issues like a $15-an-hour federal minimum wage, breaking up Wall Street banks and banning natural gas “fracking.”…
The pressure from Mr. Sanders and his allies is putting the party establishment, which is closely aligned with Hillary Clinton, in a delicate position. Democratic leaders are wary of steering the party too far left, but do not want to alienate the Sanders supporters whose votes Mrs. Clinton needs in November, or risk losing the vast new donor base Mr. Sanders has created.
