I know. Any day now the "super delegates" are just going to go flocking to Sanders because..... apparently because that is the mythology which fuels the campaign. What can I say? Cruz thought jesus loved him, too. Meanwhile, even though he 'won' Indiana the race was so close that he actually now needs to win a higher percentage of the remaining delegates than before his victory. If he won every primary 55-45 the rest of the way out he would find Hillary sitting in a hammock with a glass of lemonade when he got to the finish line.
Nobody thinks it will happen by magic, dude. If he pulls ahead in pledged delegates (which wouldn't actually be as hard as you seem to think...Hillary's pledged delegate lead is slim enough that California alone would do it, especially if their numbers turn out anything like Washington's, which were decisively in Sanders' favor), then the superdelegates will start to migrate. They have never in history voted against the will of the people at the convention, and if they do it this time they are practically guaranteed to lose the general election.
Furthermore, if she gets indicted by the FBI (unlikely, I know) then the supers will start moving no matter what else is going on.
If the voters don't give Sanders enough pledged delegates to initiate that migration, then they deserve to have Trump beat Hillary when she gets nominated, which is exactly what will happen. She is projected to beat exactly no one in the general election at this point, so it looks like the democrats' big political strategy is to lose the next 4 years to Adolf Trump. Boy, that'll show those free-loading Millenials who's boss!
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
