She has 1444 pledged right now! So she'll need 582 more pledged delegates to reach 2,026 which is half and a majority.

After that she'll need 2,383 - 2,026 = 357 ! Which could be pledged or Super- Delegates.

BS has 1,205 Pledged Delegates. Difference is 239 b/w HRC and BS.

She has 479 Super Delegates at this moment. BS has 40 Super Delegates. There are 715 Super Delegates in Total.

There are 1,400 Pledged Delegates in the coming primary elections to be assigned. She only needs 582 or 42% of those to reach majority. He needs 821 or 58% (239+582 = 821). She is going to reach majority before BS! GAME OVER!
