If one dares to count superdelegates, Hillary only needs 221 more of the ~500 left to allocate. When will she get to this "soft" majority?

There are actually over 1000 pledged delegates left to allocate and about 200 more supers yet to declare, so there is no reasonable way it could be any later than June 7th. In theory she could go over the top tomorrow after picking up about half the delegates in Indiana and if most of the remaining supers backed her.
  
I suspect that Clinton has more supers ready to back her and it is quite possible that after Kentucky/Oregon on May 17th (and almost certainly by Puerto Rico on June 5th) she would have enough to declare victory, but she probably wont do that as it would just piss off the Sanders people even more. So she will likely release a revised list of supers after DC, possibly after CA but by that point it would be moot as the ones she has now would already have put her over the top.

She won't do it with pledged delegates, but with superdelegates after June 7th.

At this point, she needs only 18% of the remaining delegates.  Her nomination is only a matter of time, and if she doesn't secure it after Kentucky or West Virginia, then she will on June 7.

The night of 7 June would be the most aesthetic.
