You're making it sound like their is some magical equation to determine peoples exact behavior between now and election day. You're completely wrong and in fact makes you sound like you lack basic intelligence or understanding.

Mathematically he CAN win. That's the entire point.
Of course he can. It will probably be an epic battle, if he wins the nomination. It is likely, though, women will come back to Hillary as the "first woman" narrative becomes more attractive. Further, the media is desperate to keep Bernie in the race, because they generate 1/3rd of their income from political advertising. When he is out, they'll stop the relentless anti-Hillary coverage and switch to pro-Hillary coverage. It seems to me, anecdotally and personally, that about 25% of Americans just do whatever the media says. Other than Breitbart, does Trump have a media backer? The cranks who watch too many YouTube videos aren't really a big part of the electorate, so all the conspiracists won't really count.
