I've certainly purchased my stock of Aloe Vera to sell to all the Bern victims.
I'm sure they'll still come in here and cry "Super Delegates change their minds" stuff but it's not looking good.

The media has already begun to ignore Sanders; Hillary is already the nominee and Bern is toast...That's already their narrative.
They'll ignore him now...even more than they did at the beginning of the nominating process.

Those funding the major media outlets are intentionally misrepresnting the delegate counts.
At this point, its really all about the delegates he's winning from actual primary victories. The "super delegates" will back whoever wins more of the popular Democrat vote. They've always done so.

One theory, also, is that he's only running as a Democrat so that he can be on the primaries and be in the democratic debates and get name recognition and then run independantly during the general election. If he wouldn't have run as a democratic candidate, we'd barely be talking about him at all, and he wouldn't be on any of the news shows and websites --think Jill Stein. In that case, this primary run is a brilliant strategy, especially considering the possibility of contested Republican nomination and possible independent run by Trump or Cruz depending on what happens there.

This has become an Establishment vs. Anti-Establishment election.
With Sanders and Rubio ushered out last night...Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party..now, officially, personify 'The Establishment'.

The super delegates haven't voted.
