The delegate numbers are stacked against Bernie Sanders, but the Vermont senator isn’t lacking for confidence in the Democratic presidential race.
Sanders is coming off victories Saturday in Kansas and Nebraska and looking for more in the coming weeks.
He tells ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that “geographically, we are looking good” and that he sees “a path toward victory.”
The delegate totals tell a different story.

When you include superdelegates, those party insiders who can choose any candidate, Hillary Clinton now has at least 1,121 delegates, compared with at least 481 for Sanders. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the nomination.
Sanders says: “We’re still fairly early in the process.”
Sanders and Clinton are debating Sunday night in Flint, Michigan.
