Bernie needed 65% of all remaining delegates. He didn't do that. I think he got 6 more than Hillary or barly over 50%. So now he needs more than 65%. Maybe 70%. When he doesn't do that it goes up again. By the time NY and PA vote which he won't win or come close it will more out of the realm of possibility than it is now. He is running out of states and out of possible delegates.
