538's forecast now has Biden with a 90% chance of having a majority of delegates

The chance of no one having a majority is down to 8%.

Sanders still at a 2% chance of having a majority.

Current delegate estimate, as of their 8:37 am ET update, is Biden 2301, Sanders 1475.

3. "Sanders still at a 2% chance of having a majority." -- Next week it will be skim.

Next week it will be skim.

No wonder the Sanders campaign and all those associated with it have been cranky and grumpy. The TRUTH is beginning to sink in. They can see the same polling that we do. They read about the same endorsements that we read about.

That helps to explain the dirty tricks we've seen the past couple of days. Lies. Smears. Attacks. Innuendo. Denigrating. Insults.

Is this a preview of what a Sanders administration would have been like?

11. I think there's a realistic possibility Biden could sweep all 6 states next Tuesday

Maybe Bernie will drop out when Joe gets to a 120% chance of getting the nomination on 538.
