I'm talking a 20 point victory in Wisconsin, at least 15 points in both NY and California as well.....

Dude there are like +700 delegates up for grabs in just NY & California. An 8 point win in any of those states will not give you just a 8 or 16 delegate net gain.

4% in New York = 8-10 delegate gain
4% in California = 16-22 delegate gain

Delegates don't work that way, not as proportionally as you think they do.
Bernie beat Hillary by a little bit more than a %1 in Michigan, yet he received 10 delegates more than her.
It all depends on the districts as well.

Bernie won by nearly 2 % in Michigan, netting 7 more delegates than her... And Michigan isn't too far behind New York in terms of population size. I'm telling you, he needs much bigger wins than that if he's looking to win. I'm not even saying that as a Hillary supporter, but generally speaking. Hillary won PA in a landslide and still couldn't catch up (in 2008).
Hillary's momentum increased after a few victories (like Bernies). But when you're 250 delegates ahead, the opponent needs to win B-I-G and this just won't be happening. Bernie will have some close victories (likely), but winning a few more delegates here and there doesn't have much of an impact. And the super delegates will not be leaving Hillary's side unless he is ahead of Hillary. Even then only some will leave her.. Most will stay due to her major donations to the party and based on the fact that she is a "true" democrat... Not a socialist behind a democratic veil.

Like I'm not helping Bernie's cause in any way. I also think he's been done for a while, at least when it comes to probability he's pretty much done. Of couse the numbers still give the impression that he's got a mathematical shot. That's simply not true. Queen is not losing NY, besides that she also looks pretty solid ahead of the 26th.

I believe from the beginning, Bernies main issue has been that he is NOT a democrat. He is an idealistic socialist who has used the Democratic Party to try and gain traction. Although he has the attention of college students (younger people), the older and educated people understand this which is why he is so behind. The DNC would never support a Bernie Sanders presidency and you can see this from Hillary's dominance of the superdelegates. This race has been over since South Carolina--and I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind (even sanders supporters) that Hillary will be the nominee.

Queen Hillary made an appearance at Black Girl's Rock last night. 
"Hillary Clinton Makes Surprise Appearance at ‘Black Girls Rock’: ‘Black Women Are Change Makers and Pathmakers and Ground Shakers’
Hillary Clinton made a surprise stop on the campaign trail to make an appearance at BET’s ‘Black Girls Rock’ show in New Jersey on Friday night.
via AP:
The Democratic presidential candidate said black women are “change makers and pathmakers and ground shakers.” She said her life has been changed by strong black women leaders, including Marian Wright Edelman, the president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, the late poet and author Maya Angelou and the late civil rights activist Dorothy Height.
Clinton introduced a video honoring Beverly Bond, the founder of Black Girls Rock.
The Black Girls Rock! show, hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, will air on Tuesday, April 5 at 8P/7C.

Disgusting that she's pandering to black women in a political campaign.

Trump trying to say that his interview with the flop abortion answer was edited to make him look bad
Not the network's fault he's putting out a fake opinion on the matter, we all know he doesn't give a shhh but is just trying to court evangelicals with it.

I really really need Trump to be the nominee. He's such a train wreck, even moreso than Hillary
