Looks like a tie to me
Advantage Bernie
Unfortunately, Bernie has to do better than tieing or Hillary wins. Bernie has to close that small gap between Hillary's delegate count and his in order to win the superdelegates who absolutely will be the ones deciding the primary election.
The superdelegates probably want Hillary because she's establishment. They probably don't like Bernie, but if they can be convinced that Bernie will win against Trump and Hillary won't, then they might switch.
We're going to a contested convention. If Bernie is not the nominee, he will still be a powerful force as Senator. He will force Clinton to make concessions to the left rather than her plan to move even further right, before getting behind her.
Other than that, what can he do? He's being willed by the citizenry. We are funding his campaign, and we are voting for him en masse. He can't step aside when he is the face of this countrys left. So he keeps riding it out. And he keeps getting a majority of the votes.
With California on deck, i think he's also open to the possibility that the voters will reject Clinton for Sanders. If he heads to convention with the entire left coast in his pocket, that is a strong case for him to be the nominee. If you take away just Texas and Georgia, two states that always go red in a general, he is leading Clinton in pledged delegates.
That and everyone knows that Hillary is a terrible candidate. As bad as many would like to make Trump out to be, you never hear the case for Clinton. Nobody has any good reason to back her. She sucks. The country obviously doesnt want anymore of this Bush-Clinton-Bush-Bushbama-Clinton.

I know you can only see life in terms of memes, but here's the truth on Sanders and Venezuela.
"Bernie Sanders says that what he means by "Democratic Socialism," is not referring to countries like Cuba and Venezuela, but Denmark and Sweden."

Ironically, he fares worst in those deep red states where the bible thumping blacks that the "liberals" hate sooo badly, mindlessly vote Clinton
As the skin color lightens and the income of the voting base increases, so does his support.
Trump has stolen the show and the media is more than happy to make all the news about Trump, because the MsM is in bed with the establishment, and the only candidate that the Ownership class is actually afraid of is Senator Sanders.
