(Politico) Bernie Sanders’ case for why he will be the Democratic nominee goes something like this: He will end the campaign close to even with Hillary Clinton in pledged delegates, and then make a persuasive argument to the party’s superdelegates, flipping enough of them to his side to get him over the threshold.
But a POLITICO analysis of the Democratic delegate math reveals that even under a best-case scenario, in which Sanders sweeps the nine remaining contests and picks up every undecided superdelegate still on the board, the Vermont senator would still need to persuade nearly 200 Hillary Clinton superdelegates to bolt from her camp — a feat of political engineering that would make the moon landing look like a walk in the park.
