Hillary is still FAR in the lead! For a comparison to 2008 where the race was MUCH closer, which is why Hillary stayed in as long as she did then, see http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html AND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries,_2008
Bernie WILL win a couple more states, but Hillary will continue to pick up delegates even there, just as she did last night - even though she missed target goals. And in the states with the biggest delegate counts remaining with closed primary elections where independents and GOPers cannot skew the results so blatantly, Hillary will pick up the larger share of delegates. You know this, of course. I am merely repeating it to encourage myself as well.
Let us hope that Bernie will show even half as much class when he concedes and that he will also do so before the convention, as Hillary did in 2008. Based on what he's saying and doing now, I have my doubts. But I can still hope that his better nature will prevail.
