It looks like it'll be over for Sanders by March 15th but many of his best states are coming up after that. Could he continue to win states even though he's been mathematically eliminated? Wouldn't that be fairly embarrassing for Clinton?

If Vermont was after that, then he obviously would, but since it isn't, I kind of doubt it.

Maybe, we'll see how his campaign goes from now until the 15th.

Sure Bernie could still win states. And well, there is that indictment thing out there. Yes, Hillary assures us there is no there, there, there is nothing to worry about, it's time to move on - like money in the bank that one can rely upon - well at least until the bank fails.

Sanders wins WV, in a rare instance of agreement between VT and WV.

Hillary kept winning states and ended up with a tie in the popular vote.

Hillary is on track to beat Sanders more than Obama beat her.

If it's over on March 15th, Sanders can still win WV, UT, ID, WY and maybe KY, although that one is very late in the schedule.

He could if he keeps fighting. If he drops out I don't think so. I don't think he can feasibly be mathematically eliminated for a while though.

Yes, it will be over March 15th,  when IL & OH votes.  Biden was the only alternative to Hilary. Sanders lacked the political will to press Clinton on email or Benghazi and attscked her on the War on Iraq vote. It help him win some early contests, but it didnt help in long run

It depends what you mean by presumptive nominee. If he actually drops out and endorses her, probably not, except maybe WV. Though he could put up some unexpectedly good numbers in certain caucuses for a dropped out candidate. If he continues to campaign and it's only de facto "over", then he'll probably win quite a few more.

Yes, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin should still be well in play after Clinton has it sewed up by March 15th.

Yes, especially if he is campaigning and Hillary isn't.

If anything, it would make it easier for him to win some states: once he is no longer a danger, having him around only strengthens the party, so many people, who would have voted for Clinton if there were any chance of Sanders getting a nomination, might choose to vote for him at that point.

There's a good chance that Hillary doesn't become the presumptive nominee until after June 7th, when there wouldn't be any state left, period. Hillary would win DC.

Sanders will probably keep campaigning long after it's clear he's lost, probably until the convention or at least once all states vote. He is running because he wants social democracy to become mainstream in America more than about becoming president himself, and wants to give voters a chance to express agreement with him, or at least dissatisfaction with the establishment.

Many of the most pro Sanders states like WV, WA vote late so he will still be winning states. Clinton will be preparing for the general more than for the primary at this point.
