Tied one where Bernie won more coin tosses.

And there is plenty of information out there about superdelegates and how they work. You might want to read it sometime instead of repeating nonsense.

Some people come up with the most ridiculous theories. As if Bernie Sanders is actually the people's choice. Hillary is far ahead of Bernie in the SC polls. And she's expected to do well in the super Tuesday states.

Hillary BARELY won Iowa, Sanders paddled her in NH. DON'T count Sanders out.

Hillary will be nominated not by popular vote but buy super delegates. She is neck and neck with Sanders now in Nevada. Just saw a Quinn poll from the 15th where she was only up by 2. There is a reason Dems have 750 or so super delegates.

Polls show Nevada is all tied up!

That means that Hillary will get all the delegates anyway. (aka = system is rigged).
