The Latest: Sanders Gets Delegate Boost; Challenge Remains by japsyvic(m): 3:49pm On May 05, 2016
.

Bernie Sanders netted about a half-dozen more delegates than Hillary Clinton after winning Indiana Tuesday. But in terms of the delegate math, his path to the Democratic nomination hasn't gotten any easier.

Clinton is now 92 percent of the way to clinching the Democratic nomination.

With 83 Indiana delegates at stake, Sanders will gain at least 43. Clinton picked up at least 37. Three delegates remain to be allocated, pending final vote tallies.

That means based on primaries and caucuses to date, Clinton now has 1,682 and Sanders has 1,361.

Clinton's lead is bigger when including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate.

She has 2,202, or 181 delegates away from the 2,383 needed to win, keeping her on track to clinch the nomination by early June. Sanders has 1,400.

If he still hopes to win the nomination, Sanders would need to win more than 84 percent of the remaining delegates and superdelegates.

The race is already decided. It is CLINTON vs TRUMP, no doubt about that. I can bet my next 1yr salary on it
