But he won't get enough SDs to flip over to him if he's behind in pledged delegates. Not within the Dem apparatus when he's only been one for 10 months against a woman who has worked within the party for 40 years. If he manages to tie or exceed the number of PDs Clinton has that's a different ballgame, but the odds of that happening are slim to none.
