Mr. Sanders should fare better over the second half of the primary season, after black voters gave Hillary Clinton such a big advantage in the first half. But the path to a majority of delegates is nonetheless a daunting one. He would need to win the remaining delegates by around a 58-42 percent margin after falling behind again in the delegate count Tuesday night.The next month features numerous contests where Mr. Sanders could be dominant before the calendar turns to those offering Mrs. Clinton more favorable terrain.He is clearly favored to exceed his target — the roughly 16-point, 58-to-42 percent margin of victory — in six of the eight contests over the next month. Wisconsin is where Mr. Sanders really needs to run up the score if he wants to overcome Mrs. Clinton’s advantage.Arizona will be important for another reason: It’s a harbinger of how Southern California might vote.
