If Hillary wins then the race is officially over and he should be forced out (and he will).
If Bernie wins then it confirms that Hillary can't hold onto any polling lead under any kind of pressure. She was almost 20 points up almost a week ago and now they're even, This happens all the time with her.

Generally, the lesser known candidate rises in the polls as more people become aware of their existence. This is just common sense, certainly not exclusive to this campaign and would be a pathetic reason to rob Hillary of her nomination.
Bernie's talk of cutting Hillary's 50 point national lead into 5 points or whatever is useless because he hasn't actually done much damage to her raw percentage.
January 1: Hillary 54.7%, Bernie 30.7%
Now: Hillary 53.3%, Bernie 42.5%

So congratulations Bernie, you won over some undecided voters that did absolutely nothing for your campaign because you made no effort to win over Hillary's supporters.
