| A passionate crowd is chanting “Feel the Bern” and “Si se puede” while fans await Bernie Sanders in the Santa Monica airport hangar, but there’s a mounting sense of foreboding. | |
| Chants of 'Bernie' and 'si se puede'. Then anxious looks at MSNBC monitor. There will be tears. #CaliforniaPrimary pic.twitter.com/Vk0piMXs32 | |
| Between lulls in chanting and sign-waving, people are peering at the press pen to glimpse rolling headlines on TV monitors. The big campaign screen overlooking the hangar shows only still images of Sanders on the campaign trail, when hope reigned. | |
| “It’s pretty upbeat but there are a lot of die-hard supporters here so even though the numbers don’t look good there’s a lot of positive energy,” said Joanna Lenn, 46, a volunteer. She was bracing for the worst. “If he loses California from my perspective it would be over.” | |
| Amid cheers and a swelling Diana Ross soundtrack (“Baby Love”) Gustavo Ramirez, 45, brandished a placard but he was fighting back tears. A volunteer, he said he spent months rising at 4am for the campaign. “If there’s heartbreak it’s at the corporate system and that just strengthens our resolve,” he said. | |
| He accused the media of bias, saying Spanish language networks largely ignored Sanders. Of six supporters interviewed randomly, all six, unprompted, accused the media of favoring Hillary Clinton. | |

The story offers a window into how the Vermont senator has been reportedly taking a combative route in the campaign, personally choosing to call Clinton unqualified, to challenge Donald Trump to a debate via Jimmy Kimmel, and writing the defensive statement after conflicts in Nevada: | Politico has a compelling look inside the Sanders campaign this evening, published just as Clinton was declaring victory in Brooklyn.
