Bernie's goal tonight: 45.6%
So far Bernie has won 45.6% of all the pledged delegates. If that rate remains until the end of the primaries the final pledged delegate count will be;
Bernie - 1847, Clinton - 2204.
This will leave Clinton 179 votes short of the nomination.
The last primary is June 14 and the convention starts July 25. A lot can happen in five and a half weeks, especially since the GOP has its convention first. If after the GOP convention the polls show that Bernie is a significantly stronger candidate against the GOP nominee then is Hillary, then the super delegates will have to nominate him. Hillary can claim the moral argument that she won the majority of pledged delegates and the popular vote. But the party leaders are politicians, their only concern is winning.

Cows live in a bern...
I grew up in Queens, and laid my head down each night in a shared bedroom in a third floor walk-up, less than four miles from Shea Stadium. My mother was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens. My grandfather was born and raised in Brooklyn. His father emigrated to Brooklyn from Ireland in the 1890's. My grandmother emigrated to Brooklyn from Ireland, still a teenager in the late 1920's. The grandparents moved out to Queens (when it was still "out"!) in the 50's, and I grew up in that neighborhood, around the corner from them, because that's how the working class Irish do. I went to New York City public schools K-12. As teenagers, we rode the trains, had keg parties in the parks of Queens, cruised Francis Lewis Boulevard, fought the kids from the other neighborhoods, went to clubs in the city and to the Irish bars in Sunnyside where we drank under age and hooked up in parked cars under the train tracks. State university Upstate after that, so I know outside NYC too. New York City is my home. I don't live there now, but it's my home. My next trip home is in June.
And, yes, Mets over Yankees. My grandfather was a Dodgers fan, of course.
Too true!
post. 
Sanders has to run the rest of the table at ~57-58% to get more pledged delegates than Clinton. If he comes in below that...and he's on target to come in significantly below that, then he'll have to run the table at 59-60%. Which we all know is unicorn and leprechaun territory.
You're welcome.
Michael Dukakis turned a seventeen point post convention lead into a eight point loss. Don't make my word for it:
Also, black and Hispanic voters have given Secretary Clinton her margin of victory. Since the last Democrat to win the majority or plurality of the white vote was Lyndon Johnson the Democrats would literally rather lose the election than alienate them. Without people of color the Democratic party is done, from the state houses to Congress to the White house.
So all is well in the universe! 
that will send Bernie even farther behind.
