Even if Trump loses Indiana, it's over.

This is my worst scenario for Trump:

Indiana: 9/57
Nebraska: 0/36
West Virginia: 31/34
Oregon: 12/28
Washington: 15/44
Montana: 0/27
South Dakota: 0/29
New Jersey: 51/51
New Mexico: 10/24
California At-Large: 13/13

This means Trump wins 141. Right now, he needs 240 delegates to win. 240 - 141 = 99

99 delegates = 33/53 California districts. And also there are 34 uncommitted delegates.

I've been doing projections of high, low, and median scenarios for the delegate math since mid-March, and this basically lines up with my view of the race. Unless Trump's support has a fairly dramatic meltdown in California (unlikely but not impossible), he is either going to be at 1237 or so close that the uncommitted delegates will be shamed into backing him.

It's also the margins in those counties. 45%+ in many of the VA counties that border WV (and when Trump was polling close to 10% lower nationally), 50%+ in much of eastern KY (despite that being a caucus state, where Trump has generally done poorly), 45-50%+ in the bordering OH counties against that state's sitting governor, over 60% in the bordering counties of southwest PA, and 55%+ in the three counties in the panhandle of MD. I can't imagine Trump getting less than 55% in WV at this point, and something like 60-65% seems more likely.
