If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the Democratic establishment is colluding with Hillary Clinton to secure her nomination.

Surely, that’s not the case, right?

Even though Bernie won the New Hampshire Democratic primary with more than 60 percent of the vote – trouncing Hillary by more than 20 points, Hillary will still walk away with more delegates than Sanders. You can blame the weird rules of the Democratic National Committee, The Daily Caller is reporting.

As the dust settles, Sanders will walk away with 13 national convention delegates to Hillary’s 15. So how does this happen?

New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates allotted based on the popular vote. Of those, Sanders won 13 and Clinton won 9. There are 2 currently allotted to neither.

But under DNC rules, the state has 8 “super-delegates,” high-ranking party officials who are free to commit to whichever candidate they like, regardless what voters think. Their votes are given the same weight as the voter-determined delegates.

Of New Hampshire’s “super-delegates,” six of them have committed to Hillary Clinton, giving her a total of 15 delegates from New Hampshire. Two are uncommitted.

Nationally, Hillary already had 20 percent of the delegates she needed to secure the nomination. There are a total of 4,763 delegates and Hillary claims she already has 440. Since a candidates only needs 2,382 (a simple majority) to win, Hillary is already one-fifth of the way there.

Bernie Sanders’ people are hoping that if they dominate among voters, those “super-delegates” who have already pledged to Hillary will feel obliged to honor the “will of the people” and change their vote to Bernie before the convention.

So with two states down – one that Hillary won with a razor-thin margin and another that she handily lost, here’s the count for Democratic delegates:

Hillary Clinton: 455 Bernie Sanders: 42

And that’s how the Democratic Party secures the nomination for Hillary Clinton.
