Playing with Delegate Math

http://demrace.com/?share=bWkFYiQG

I created a scenario where Clinton doesn't do any better than tie any future contest, Bernie sweeps this weekend by greater margins than I expect, and he does better in the future in many states than I expect.

He still walks into the convention 13 delegates behind Clinton.

We should note that I don't expect Clinton to lose or tie in NY, PA, MD, DE, or NJ. I don't expect Sanders to have landslides in most states where I gave him a landslide. This is simply an absolute worst case given present events.

This is still rather Clinton-adverse, but she walks into the convention with more than +250 delegates. In this case, overall, the delegate split from now onward favors Sanders by more than 2.5%--greater than the much-published 1 point Sanders advantage from the poll.

I didn't know Bernie was a fan of redistributing his donor's contributions upward into a one percenter.
