It is over ..... the math
Hillary Clinton's #s
HRC has 1681 delegates ... HRC needs 2157 to get the nomination and 2383 delegates still remain to
be picked.
The math
2157 - 1681 = 702 (delegates needed for the nomination)
702/2383 = 32% (HRC will need 32% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination)
Bernie's #s
Bernie has 927 delegates .... Bernie needs 2157 to get the nomination and 2383 delegates still remain to
be picked.
The math
2157 - 927 = 1456 (delegates needed for the nomination)
1456/2383 = 68% (Bernie will need 68% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination)

The numbers don't look good, though. Thanks for putting them together, Botany.

Lito Pena is sure of his memory. Thirty-six years ago he, then a Democratic Party poll watcher, got into a shoving match with a Republican who had spent the opening hours of the 1964 election doing his damnedest to keep people from voting in south Phoenix.
"He was holding up minority voters because he knew they were going to vote Democratic," said Pena.
The guy called himself Bill. He knew the law and applied it with the precision of a swordsman. He sat at the table at the Bethune School, a polling place brimming with black citizens, and quizzed voters ad nauseam about where they were from, how long they'd lived there -- every question in the book. A passage of the Constitution was read and people who spoke broken English were ordered to interpret it to prove they had the language skills to vote.
By the time Pena arrived at Bethune, he said, the line to vote was four abreast and a block long. People were giving up and going home.
SNIP…
Party leaders told him not to get physical, but this was the second straight election in which Republicans had sent out people to intellectually rough up the voters. The project even had a name: Operation Eagle Eye.

Of all the Studs in the Scud multiverse, no one knows how to voice every vote twice like Wolf Blitzer.
If the national trends continue then HRC should have the needed #s by
the PA primary.
