He won the smaller states.

I mean let's compare the states he won vs. the 4 largest states Clinton won...

Sanders: CO (66), Minn (77), OK (38) VT (16)
Clinton: GA (102), TX (222). VA (95), MA (95)

... brackets is the delegate total for the state. Even if you want to consider MA a draw (close enough really) then Clinton's fifth most win was TN (67). The delegate math is not kind to Sanders at this point. The proportionality of the Democrats system ensures that he can stay in for a while if he wants (and I think he should... if nothing else it get's organizers active on the ground as a dry run towards the general) but I think it is highly unlikely to result in victory.
