Sanders wins, say, 53 percent
of the delegates in those Big Six states, likely through big wins in the Rust
Belt states of Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and through improving his
performance with Hispanic voters in California.
He racks up landslide after
landslide in the other states remaining that are 70 percent white or more, and
comes away with about 62 percent of those delegates.
And he then fights Clinton to
a draw in the remaining contests where nonwhite voters are more heavily
represented, picking up 48 percent of those delegates.
This would give Sanders — just
barely — a majority in pledged delegates. But it wouldn't give him the
nomination. For that, he'd then need enough of the superdelegates to swing to
his side or remain neutral.
Is this likely? It's not impossible. And we've already seen a great many
"impossible" things transpire in this cycle.
