I will be surprised if Sanders can cover that gap, but I won't be totally shocked either.
Yeah but as long as Hillary has even 1 more pledged delegate than Bernie, she'll get the vast majority of superdelegates. As it is Bernis is down big in the next 5 states according to polls:

Down 15-20% in Michigan
Down 40-50% in Mississippi
Down 25-30% in Florida
Down 15-20% in Ohio
Down 10-15% in North Carolina

If all those hold on election day, he really not only has no path, he has no case to continue if he really wants to beat Trump, as he's said. He can't just keep waiting for the smaller, mostly whiter states to give him (pun intended) token wins.
