With Clinton's advantage in delegates and popular vote, they are not going to switch.

...Media continues to coddle Sanders. Every time he wins a state, no matter how inconsequential or insignificant the win, the narrative is changed and the bar is raised. The BSers cannot grasp reality, so things get much worse every time BS wins a state, even if he doesn't receive a majority of the delegates.
