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%
