Maybe, but he doesn't have to.
There's too much Clinton fatigue and I think many voters (Democratic and Republican) aren't thrilled with the choices and want a complete revolution. Too many near 50-50 results amongst Clinton and Sanders, and Clinton will be gone.
Which leads to the main event, and all he needs is 270 electoral votes to win that. If he wins the usual Democratic-leaning states, plus Nevada, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, he's there.
Or he can lose Ohio, and pick up Iowa and Colorado, and he's there.
Or he can lose Ohio, pick up Iowa and Colorado, and lose Pennsylvania, and win Florida, and he's there. I think he can even lose Colorado and still win.
You can play the states here, if you wish:
