Right now the winner is probably Seattle. It probably gets beat by San Francisco though. Also outside chance in Indianapolis.

Can't see anywhere else likely.

Ah wait, it turns out the actual current winner is Austin, TX. And there's nowhere bigger I can see Sanders having a chance in.

So there's your answer I guess.

Possibly San Jose or maybe LA.

He's not winning LA. He's probably not winning San Jose either, but it's not really clear how Asian-Americans in California will vote.

I didn't realize Austin was more populous than SF. In that case, it'll remain Austin.

Oh yeah, its huge.  It should pass 1 million before the next census.

That's because Austin, like most cities west of the Mississippi, is absurdly large in terms of land area. SF is an outlier in that its municipal boundaries are limited mostly to its urbanized area, but the SF metro is actually over twice as populous as the Austin metro.

At least it's not 1500 miles long like Honolulu.

Living in the Austin area, this actually was going to be my guess. There are a lot of Bernie stickers out there in the parking lot that is I-35.

Ah wait, it turns out the actual current winner is Austin, TX. And there's nowhere bigger I can see Sanders having a chance in.

He is surely gonna win LA IMO - Austin is weirdly Progressive for a deep red state! It's like a different country in a country so that's not un-expected

It's not the largest city in question, though I'm not so sure if famously liberal San Francisco will go for Sanders.

Why are we using city populations instead of MSA populations? The former are not even remotely consistent from city to city (c.f. Jacksonville vs. Miami).

Yeah, and they skew the demographics.
