My understanding is that the delegates get to make up their own minds. They're delegates chosen by the candidate (or their campaign), so they're likely to go where the candidate asks them to go, at least at first. The whole system is really strange.

Anyway, most people who think Sanders won't get the nomination believe it's because he's weak with the "black vote". Which is probably why he's reportedly travelling to New York tomorrow to meet with Reverend Al Sharpton.
