781 delegates left.
So X + X + 275 = 781
2X = 506
X = 253 (Clinton's number)
That is 32% of the delegates. Bernie, therefore needs 68%.

I don't spend any time researching Sanders anymore. I now spend more time getting to know our democratic nominee Hillary. I didn't have to really follow the primaries today because no matter the outcome they didn't really matter.
I have been looking at ways to help in the general to elect Hillary instead of state races. I think of the swing states and not my domiciled state of Texas.
