After Michigan and its ripples, I think he has a metashot. I think he has a shot at winning more votes than Hillary, but not enough to overcome her massive superdelegate pledges. Then it becomes a question of whether the superdelegates value democracy – or fear backlash – enough to switch. We'll see. It's still an uphill battle, but all the Southern states have gone, so from here on out he'll be winning a lot. California, New York, Washington, et cetera. The current non-superdelegate counts are Hillary 748 – 542 Sanders. So yeah, I think he's got a real shot. If he loses due to superdelegates, I will go to the state Democratic office in person on July 29 to resign my party membership. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
