Green Papers has 17 delegates. Regardless, the sum of it is that Sanders cut about 0.5% into her delegate lead.

The fact that Bernie Sanders is making a run for this long is evidence enough that Clinton is not nearly as strong as candidate as anti-Trump hopefuls think.

Not really. It's pretty much just evidence that Bernie Sanders has a lot of money and no incentive to drop out. Much like HRC had a lot of money and no incentive to drop out in 2008 (which was a much closer contest then this one).
I'll give everyone a preview of the next bit of the Democratic race... For the next three weeks the media will muse about whether there is a Sanders Surge happening (he'll win or effectively tie every contest between now and April 19), then NY will happen and she'll blow him out of the water and for a week they'll muse about whether she has it locked up or if it was just a home state thing, then on the 26 he'll fall further behind as a string of closed primaries further pad her lead. Then probably even delegate hauls until June 7 at which point the media will have no choice but to stop pretending that it's been a competitive race since the SEC Super-Tuesday Primaries.
