Because she has a 219 pledged-delegate lead and added to it last night. His "win" in Michigan gained him 7 more delegates than her from Michigan, while she added a net 27 from Mississippi. All the Dem primaries award delegates proportionately, so small margin win mean almost nothing for him. He need to win big, and he's not done that outside of Vermont, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
And that's before we start talking about super delegates.
