But not impossible.

Since you like math, an example. If he had to win 125% of the remaining pledged delegates, that would be impossible. Kasich, for example, cannot mathematically get to the delegate count on the GOP side. It is impossible.

Bernie has to pretty much not lose any state left. He needs to win some states by large margins and at least break even in others. He damn near needs to run the table with wins. Hard to do. Unlikely. Not impossible.
