Quote:All he has to do is nose ahead on pledged delegates, which is well within mathematical reach.
Yeah... and if a baseball team is 6 1/2 games behind with 7 to play they are not mathematically eliminated either. But I wouldn't spend money buying their playoff tickets.
There are 781 delegates available not counting super-delegates. Sanders trails by 274 in pledged delegates. By my count, he needs to win 67+% of the remaining delegates. And every race that he either loses or wins with less than 67% of the delegates simply makes it harder.
Hillary is 92 votes short. She can't get them in the two minor races before June 7th. You can talk about math all you like but I far prefer her chances to his.
