Biden is projected to be leading by 50 delegates. That's not as much of a margin as one would expect given the blow out nature of the results.

That margin can be overcome. However, there are many caveats to this:
*Bernie undeniably got a lot of early votes when the momentum was up in the air and he lost a ton of late voters to Biden once the momentum switched.
*Biden has been showered with positive news media all day long which will continue into next week.. Sanders the opposite.
*The demographics seem fairly locked in, with AA voters breaking for Biden as well as older voters. He even enjoys superior gender balance. Young voters didn't show up for Bernie and they arent going to be showing up for future states.
*Bloomberg dropping out favors Biden more than Warren dropping out favors Warren.
*Endorsements are going to start rolling in for Biden now that he has shown his electability and it's going to snowball.
*The future states are more friendly to Biden ESPECIALLY in light of today's results.
I think Sanders should stay in and show just how many delegates he can accrue going into the convention. Maybe get a sweeter deal with Biden since they still like each other. A 35-40% section of the Democratic party shouldn't be ignored.
Warren.... should have dropped out 3 days ago. Bloomberg should never have entered the race.
Obama was ahead of Clinton by 13 delegates after Super Tuesday in 2008 (which didn't include California at the time). If Biden really does end up 50 delegates after tonight, that will actually be hard to make up. Sanders has some good states coming up but so does Biden.
