After June 7th there are 80 pledged delegates remaining.

Based on current The Green Papers Hillary needs 254 and Sanders needs 528 based on just pledged delegates. Only about 60% of the results are in for Oregon right now. If it delegate breakdown don't change for Oregon Sanders will need over 68% of the remaining to have a chance.

Hillary should easily win the rest of the needed delegates from California. If by chance California is not enough, New Jersey would carry her over.

Those were actual posts in GDP this evening. And they weren't talking about Kentucky.

There are a total of 55 delegates and they only allotted 52 delegates.

I would also be leery with Oregon. They are doing the calculation on all delegates instead of by each district, and other levels.

Base on The Green Papers numbers right now Hillary would need 84 delegates when including both pledged and unpledged delegates. Based just on pledged she would need 254.

Sanders is going to need much more delegates than are available. Maybe not setting up a bar for Sanders supporters would improve their actions.
