"The media bias is quite subtle though isn't it.

Hilary won 4 out 7 states, the headline at the BBC was Hilary wins massively.

Bernie wins 3 out of 4 states the headline was sanders victory!.

All the polls keep showing that sanders consistently beats Hilary on all the debates.... Headline... Hilary commanding in debates..

Call me cynical but you'd swear they have a favourite candidate"

Hillary has over twice as many delegates as Sanders.

At the minute it's 1130 - 499.

That's a big lead. Winning a State is good, but what matters is how many delegates the State carries.

Most of the difference appears to be super delegates, not actually voters perse.

There's a very interesting article online about one of the states that Bernie lost by a whisker.

Massachusetts, turns out bill turned up at a polling booth kissing baby's and posing for pictures, he also while in there stopped several thousand people from voting because of security.... All this completely against voting regulations.

Oh yes the major who actually accompanied bill to the booth later asked politely for candidates to remember voting regulations.

.

In fact after a quick check online.

It turns out Hilary is 365 super delegates.

Bernie is 14.

I'll try and find some actual voting figures and see if that's as prominent

That's out of date.

It's 658 - 471 without super delegates.

Yeah and after another quick snoop online I also notice that last time round and before that... they only ever reported the voting by delegates, where as this year they seem to be combining the figure to make Hilary's lead seem a little more commanding than it is!

It would appear that most of them are the establishment that sanders is calling out!.

It's a lead, but not quite the commanding lead it seems without the super delegates

However... Sanders beats trump by 15 points
