Fun with Math...

To get a majority of Pledged Delegates (2,023), Bernie Sanders currently needs 497 more.

Let's give him 2/3 of MT, SD and ND (39 total), 45% (probably generous) of NJ and NM (71) and 40% of DC (8).

That means he needs 379 delegates out of the 475 available in CA, or.....79%.

Piece of cake.

Sounds like she won't make it either. Which is Bernie's point.
