Re: It's very simple.

This same scenario plays out every year with millions of voters, this is not some sort of special election or electoral oddity. The early states decide the candidate before the later states get to vote. It's never been called "disenfranchisement" before, though. At some point during the primary process (every primary process), the math determines the candidate. Hillary Clinton is simply not going to win 60% of the vote in every remaining state.

Include Florida and Michigan if you like, that doesn't change anything (I actually mentioned that below).

She only took 50% of the Florida vote and 55% of Michigan. So even if you count the votes as they are now and give the FL and MI delegations full voting privileges (incredibly unfair to do so, but even if you do), she doesn't win. If you give them half a vote each (which is what the GOP did), that makes it even harder for her to make up ground.

Pledged delegates are not going to flip and super delegates will not go maverick, particularly in this race with 2000 fresh in everybody's memory.
