It would help Bernie way too much if Trump debated him since Hillary doesn't want to.

It a very wise political move not to willingly debate someone from your own party who's on the verge of losing the primary.

Well if Bernie can somehow pull out a miracle win in California and deny Clinton the majority of delegates she needs to win, than we could have a contested democratic convention.

Otherwise, it seems that Clinton will inevitably be the winner, unless there is some divine intervention from the FBI.

You I guess. (did you include super delegates?)

Needed to win: 2383

As of today: Clinton - 2310, Sanders - 1542

Some are even calling it over already.

With that being said, we're going to have a Clinton vs Trump for president? What could possibly be worse than having to choose between two evils? No.point in voting now, the country will go to **** either way.

and, yes, some are calling it all over already:

"MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has revealed that the major television networks plan to call the Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton during the day on June 7th — hours prior to the close of polls in California — on the grounds that Clinton has “clinched” the nomination as soon as she crosses the 2,383-delegate threshold via both pledged delegates (who are already committed to her) and super-delegates (who cannot, by Democratic Party rules, commit themselves to her or be tallied until July 25th).

In other words, as recently indicated by Mark Murray, NBC’s Senior Editor for Politics, the networks will make the news on June 7th rather than report it — as, per the Democratic National Committee, the final and indeed only authority on the tabulation of super-delegates, Clinton cannot clinch the nomination on June 7th unless she wins 78.3 percent of the pledged delegates on that date.

Which she won’t."

more here.

He's including super delegates which I don't understand why someone would do that either. That's where my original point stemmed from about the numbers being closer than what he was saying.

And to answer your question Chula, I checked about a week ago, and your article proves my point.
