Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner and presumptive nominee for US president in 2016 has more votes, more states, more delegates (with a 707-delegate lead over Bernie’s 1,565 to 858), and more super delegates than Bernie Sanders (1,129 to 835 – a difference of 294), who had hoped to clinch more delegate wins. Although this news fades out that hope; Bernie can still, in theory, win each of the remaining contests (primary elections) by 16 points (if Bernie wins 76% of the remaining delegates) but anything less means he will not win the nomination (if Hillary wins at least 41% of the remaining votes).
