Sanders Is About To Have The Biggest Political Upset In Modern US History

I'm posting this here so we can all enjoy before having to defend it in gdp

The overwhelming majority of the voting data accumulated thus far in the Democratic primaries contradicts the media narrative suggesting Bernie Sanders doesn’t perform well in states with diverse populations.

While the fact that Sanders yesterday swept “Western Saturday” (with votes in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington) is a part of the analysis — as is the fact that, in just a few hours of voting, Sanders managed to eliminate 22.5% of Hillary Clinton’s 296-delegate lead — it isn’t the greater part. I’m not even focusing here on the fact that, after weeks of being told how staggeringly far ahead Clinton is in the pledged delegate race, her monumental margin ends up, as of today, being no more than 54.9% to 45.1%.

A single-digit lead.

I notice the media is even starting to take notice. How could they not? He's blasting higher and higher each week.

I say we start counting all the super delegates on our side. It is inevitable.

An excellent piece of analytical reporting. No MSM Clinton thumb-on-the-scale propaganda.
