Hillary Clinton

Text from GDP.
After Super Tuesday, the Democratic delegate race really isn't much of one. Hillary Clinton expanded her lead in pledged delegates to 598 to 407, thanks to huge margins among African-Americans in states like Alabama and Georgia and solid margins among Latinos in Texas. Sanders's wins in the caucus states of Colorado and Minnesota, as well as Oklahoma and his home state of Vermont, were not nearly sufficient to offset Clinton's leads in larger states.
At this point, Clinton is at 129 percent of her cumulative delegate target, to just 73 percent for Sanders, meaning she is well on track for the nomination.
What's more, according to the Associated Press, Clinton maintains a lead of 449 to 19 in superdelegates, the party leaders and elected officials who get automatic votes at the convention. When added together, that gives Clinton 1,047 delegates to Sanders's 426. That means Sanders would need to win roughly 59 percent of remaining pledged delegates and uncommitted superdelegates just to pull even. That's next to impossible, given that Democratic primaries award delegates proportionally.
