The story of
Super Tuesday was not Donald Trump's dominance; that was expected.
Nor was the story Hillary Clinton's wins in the South. They too were
expected.
The story
was Bernie Sanders, who managed to win four states to Clinton's
seven, taking home victories in Oklahoma, Minnesota, Colorado as well
as his home state of Vermont, where he won in landslide fashion:
86-percent to Clinton's 14-percent.
In
Massachusetts, Sanders and Clinton virtually tied, as they did last
month in Iowa.
Sanders is
now the only presidential candidate besides Clinton and Trump to have
won five states this election season. He may not be the Democratic
frontrunner, but he's a close second, much closer to a nomination
than either Rubio or Cruz.
[...]
Including
super delegates at this point is not only misleading, but downright
dishonest because super delegates won't vote until the Democratic
National Convention. As they did for Obama in 2008, super delegates
can and will transfer their support to Sanders if the Senator
continues to win in primaries and caucuses. To portray Clinton as the
clear favorite this early on is a clear fallacy.
The reality
is, the only delegates that are absolutely certain at this point in
time are the pledged delegates, the ones that candidates win fair and
square.
Based on the
pledged delegates, the Democratic primary is a whole heck of a lot
closer than the corporate media would have its viewers believe.
