The Green Papers has this as the popular vote tally to date:

Hillary Clinton 10,496,503
Donald Trump 8,794,954
Bernard Sanders 7,819,653
Ted Cruz 6,451,662
Marco Rubio 3,486,348
John Kasich 3,204,450 (Yes, sixth in a five-person race)

I see them constantly say “Well Obama didn’t win state so and so either” and yes it’s true that Obama didn’t win New York or some of the other states that Clinton has won but it’s also true that Obama had a strong base. Bernie’s base? I’m sorry to scoff like this but it’s overwhelmingly white. He could get away with that if he were a Republican but in a party as diverse as the Democrats, he can’t. Michigan was probably the most diverse primary he’s won and that was really close and I think he got aided by some dumb Democrats voting Rubio or Kasich to “stop” Trump.
