Sadly, Bernie is manipulating his supporters by having them believe something that's not in the rule book. The number of delegates must be at least 2383. The nominee is not required to have a certain ratio of PDs to SDs. And HRC's superdelegates are not going to switch to Bernie. Seriously, just not gonna happen. It defies logic, e.g. game theory basics.

Candidates generally lobby superdelegates early and often in the primary process. If they've already committed to HRC, they're not going to change their support on the convention floor. And if Bernie could've gotten folks to make the switch he would have done it by now.
