This whole “Bernie can’t win” has turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. When people buy the lie, they either vote for Clinton or do not vote at all. If they do not vote in the primary, the Democrats had best hope that does not carry over into the general election. If it does, they are in a world of trouble because Trump has energized a whole new bunch of voters for the Republicans. The only Democrat to have energize NEW voters has been Sanders. The “Bernie can’t win” approach is a bad case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The early states account for a fraction of the total delegates needed. Though every delegate is a zero sum game, every state is not. Right now if Sanders is to win he will have ot come from behind, there is still time but the odds are with Clinton. This isn’t some Republican brawl – we won’t need a brokered convention regardless of a Sanders or Clinton win.
Oh, please. Hillary’s biggest demographics are those that traditionally vote Republican. It’s no surprise she won the states that traditionally vote Republican. There are still plenty of moderate and progressive states that have yet to hold their primary/caucus. The last time Hillary was the presumed nominee, she lost out to Obama….and she had far less baggage than she does now.
The Delegate Counts are being heavily distorted by the so called “Super Delegates” who are not Voted on but who are primarily Party Insiders with their own agenda. Mostly, the Super Delegates follow the Money.

I’ll vote for Bernie or Hillary. It would be good to have them on the same ticket.
