2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Evidently needs reposting: Hillary is NOT winning the popular vote. That's not how primaries work. [View all]oberliner

In Washington State, the turnout at the caucus was 230,000 people. In Maine, the turnout at the caucus was 46,000 people. In Alaska, the turnout was 11,000. In Wyoming the turnout was 7,000 people.
Adding all of those together, you get a total of around 300,000 voters. Giving Bernie 80 percent of those voters would result in 240,000 to Hillary's 60,000 for a net of 180,000 votes for Bernie.
That does not really make any significant dent in the the popular vote total of three million that Hillary Clinton has.
This Wikipedia chart includes the estimated voter totals from the caucuses in its calculation, and Hillary still has an approximate lead of 3 million votes:
