After SC (which Sanders appears to have bailed on) the pledged delegate numbers will be solidly in Hillary's corner.

trying to feed anything positive to his supporters. I think he knows it's going to be slipping away after Saturday and even more so after March 1.

In 2008 Hillary had a lot of the superdelgates' support until Obama started winning and showed his viability, at which point they switched to Obama.

At this point the delegates are split and Bernie has more of the popular vote. If this continues and the superdelegates go against the popular vote to tip this to Hillary there will be a revolt and fracture in this party that will not be overcome for the GE. Especially now that we've learned many of them are Lobbyists.

.

That will change on Saturday and on March 1.

First, the actual delegate count, including superdelegates, is 502 to 70. Bernie fans don't want to consider superdelegates, for obvious reasons, but they do count.

Second, one of the delegates from Nevada has yet to be allocated, so Bernie could end up one delegate ahead of Hillary when that's done. Or one delegate behind.

Third, looking at the demographics of each state, the expectation was that Bernie would win Iowa by at least 6 points, win New Hampshire by at least 29, and only lose Nevada by 3 or less (that's according to Nate Silver's report). Instead, he lost by a hair in Iowa, won by only 22 points in New Hampshire, and lost Nevada by 5. So when you just look at the numbers, it's a tie, but when you actually analyze them, he's solidly behind.
