The CNN delegate estimate reflects the results of various primaries and caucuses as well as the results of an independent CNN survey of Democratic superdelegates and unpledged RNC delegates. These delegates have guaranteed voting privileges at the national conventions and may support any candidate they wish. Unlike pledged delegates, they are not bound by any primary or caucus results.

Cheer up, there's still hope.
From the graph that you posted, CNN's disclaimer:

This means that these are un-pledged and non-binding "votes".
They could be purposely misleading.
I think if the majority are for Sanders and Trump in the primaries, there's going to be not much credence in stopping that voice from being "the one".
If they try and cheat to get Clinton and Bush on board, well...
How about two Third Parties breaking off and splitting everything up into a hotly contested death match?
Republican
Democrat
Make America Great Party
Make America Fair Party

If Bernie clearly wins the popular vote, but Hillary is handed the nomination by the Superdelegates, the revolution will no longer be political, it will be literal. It will be French.
