Here’s something that barely made the headlines: In last week’s West Virginia primary, Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton. That’s because it’s hardly news anymore when Bernie Sanders defeats Hillary Clinton in a primary. He defeats her regularly. Thus far he’s defeated her in 19 primaries and/or caucuses, which means she’d done an awful lot of losing for someone who is supposed to be the massively supported, consensus, inevitable nominee of her party. This doesn’t mean he’s going to be the Democrats’ nominee, of course. The Democrats’ nominating process is set up to favor the candidate preferred by the establishment, not by primary voters and caucus-goers. They get some say, but just in case the establishment’s candidate is widely reviled and distrusted, the Democrats have made sure she will be saved by “superdelegates” who will vote the way party leaders want them to, not the way voters want them to.
