edged him yes - but the total delegate count doesn't reflect that - it reflects a commanding Clinton victory in Nevada which actually didn't happen.

Also - the nominee is ultimately decided by delegate count. So what's more important than who wins the popular vote in each of these states is who left each respective state with the most delegates. In an ideal world, the Super Delegates would reflect and echo their constituents. Thus far, the Super Delegates have voted as if 95% of the electorate supports Clinton over Sanders. It's out of proportion with the pulse of the people - and decisively undemocratic.

The fact that Sanders has picked up exactly 1 Super Delegate thus far is a travesty.

It's a real problem if Clinton is the nominee - which is why it's imperative for her to run a dignified and honest campaign against Sanders. You can't win the general if you alienate a significant portion of the progressive base.
