It isn't winner take all.

Today he need 65% of the remaining delegates. After PA NY and AR it will be about 75% or better. Every time he doesn't make the needed percentage it goes up.

By June 7th he will need just about all of CA and that just ain't happening. My guess it could be a split.

Beside I will be phone banking on the Central Coast and I am just so good at it.

If you're going with that number, then Sanders is down by 745 delegates.

If you go with the 475 pledged delegates, are you REALLY saying Sanders can keep up with the delegate math between now and June 7 AND take North of 75% of the vote in California????
