So will Bernie even get enough votes to remain viable in DC?

I'm not sure he'll even pull 15%. Not that it matters, of course...

He might get 25%. DC is majority minorities, but about 40% is white. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #1

Minorities have not been accepting of Bernie because he has been freely discounting their voting power.

Are home for the summer but grad students stay. There are also TONS of Millennials working and living in DC.

of pledged and super delegates which has already been determined. A campaign running off the tracks.

All the wishful magic think emanating from his campaign has not made him viable for quite some time.

A while back I did the math and Bernie need 66% of the remaining primary votes to delegates to win. Clinton needed 33%

He needed 70% of the vote yesterday. An impossible task, considering Clinton was polling way ahead in the biggest states.

Yesterday Bernie needed 500 delegates, Clinton 215 of the 714 available.
There was no "narrow path" to victory.

There are only 20 delegates left to win. Even there, Bernie has no chance to go out with a win. It is predicted Clinton will get 70.7% of the vote to Bernie's 29.3%

Will he pull 15% to be able to get a single delegate. It won't change anything, I just wonder how badly he will lose.
