Clinton vann verkar det som
Begriper inte mycket av det här men några vassa murvlar kanske kunde förklara ...
"It’s the headline on every newspaper and website around the country: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won a resounding victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in yesterday’s New Hampshire Democratic primary.
But there’s another story the media has been much slower to pick up on.
Because despite his 22-point victory, Sanders didn’t walk away with the most New Hampshire delegates.
Clinton did. And party insiders have been secretly working for months to rig the delegate count in Clinton’s favor, no matter what the voters of New Hampshire decided.
Voters handed Sanders a blowout win yesterday. He received 60 percent of the votes, compared to 38 percent for Clinton.
But that only assured Sanders a majority of New Hampshire’s pledged delegates, 13 to Clinton’s 9.
But he still came up two short in the total count, because six New Hampshire superdelegates — party insiders from each state who can support any candidate of their choice — pledged their loyalty to Clinton.
In other words, despite losing by 22 points in votes, Clinton still managed to win the total delegate count in New Hampshire, 15-13. And it’s these delegates who decide who the Democratic presidential nominee will be, not majority vote."

Nu tror jag väl inte att vi har några journalister som kan det här så det lär väl bli kvar i dimman.
