That's 1.4 million. Sanders trails by a 450k margin now. So he'd need to win 925k-475k to overcome that. That's over 66% of the remaining vote.

It's not going to happen.

And there hasn't been an instance where such a wide lead has been overcome. Some lower level offices have had candidates pull ahead, but only in instances when the deficit was very small to begin with. I don't think the Sanders supporters hoping for a dramatic shift are aware of how these things work.
