Edited to add my comments: I rate it Poor to Fair. There is really too much calling people names, calling Democratic politicians liars to really have much intelligent discussion.

Whether he is politically non-viable is a wholly different question than whether he is mathematically eliminated.

And you last sentence is problematic as well. It is conceivable and mathematically possible, albeit not likely, that one candidate could take the pop vote, and the other the pledged delegate race.
