By looking at this title one might think that I am crazy to think Bernie Sanders won last night when he lost 7 out of the eleven states that voted. Technically, yes, Hillary Clinton won more states than Sanders and therefore got more delegates last night. However, before Super Tuesday even started the entire political establishment was predicting that last night would be the end of the Sanders insurgence unless he somehow won the five following states: Vermont, Colorado, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Massachusetts.

Vermont wasn’t a surprise to anyone seeing as that is Bernie Sanders home state. He won so big in Vermont that Clinton didn’t have enough support to even pick up a single delegate. The real story was whether or not Sanders was going to do well in the other four states that were deemed as toss ups due to the lack of polling leading up to election night. The political media was saying throughout the week that Sanders had to do well in these states in order to stay relevant. What’s interesting is that even though this was the narrative going into Super Tuesday, the news media seemed to forget they ever said such a thing.

Let’s start with Bernie’s largest victory of the night (besides Vermont): Minnesota. There was hardly any polling leading up to Minnesota’s caucus. However, the last poll on real clear politics was done in January and had Clinton up 34 points. The final result of the election last night: Bernie 62% to Clinton’s 38%. That is a 24 point victory, larger than the one Bernie had in New Hampshire. Not only did he win by 24 points, but he out performed the January poll poll by 58 points. Wow. In a “toss up” state that Bernie needed to win he won by 24 points. But did the media cover that? Of course not. Well, what about the other toss up states?

In Colorado, Bernie beat Clinton by another huge margin of 19 points. In Oklahoma, another “toss up” state that Bernie had to win according to the media, he won by 10 points. Sanders decisively won 3 out of the 4 toss up states that Bernie had to win to remain in the race. The only state he didn’t win was Massachusetts. How much did he lose by? 1 point. MSNBC, a network that prefaced Super Tuesday with the notion that Sanders had to win these 4 crucial states in order to stay in, only covered the result in Massachusetts and basically said “Bernie lost by a point Massachusetts, so it’s over”. They didn’t even mention the fact that out performed expectations by YUGE margins in Colorado, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. Nope, he lost by a point in Massachusetts, a state where he was polling about 7 points below Clinton, so therefore the election is over.

It’s absolutely amazing to see how completely full of shit the media is in covering this election. They go into the night saying that Bernie has to do well in these certain states and then he does, but what is the reaction? “Hillary Clinton won tonight because she won all the states she was supposed to win and won by a point in one of the four toss up states so the election is over”. It’s astounding. Because of what I witnessed last night, I am officially done with watching any major cable news outlet for the rest of this primary season. Bernie Sanders could win the nomination and they would still find a way to spin it in Clinton’s favor. I’m done. I encourage every real progressive and Bernie Sanders supporter to watch the Young Turks (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks) from now on. They are truly the only news source with integrity that deals with facts and reality rather than political spin.

Finally, I would like to explain to anyone who is still unconvinced about Sanders being the victor last night that this primary is about time. Cenk Uygur, host of the Young Turks, explained that the states remaining in this primary are Sanders friendly states like Colorado and Minnesota were. By winning those states by such large margins, Sanders is set up to run the table in states like Ohio, Michigan, and Maine. The southern states that Clinton does so well in because of demographics have almost all voted with the exception of a few more. Cenk made the point about how with every passing day, Sanders gains support while Clinton’s support remains stagnant. The more time Sanders remains competitive in this race, the better chance he has at winning. With the 42 million dollars Sanders racked in last month, he is beautifully set up to continue his push for revolution.
