    I honestly can’t believe you’re making the case that Bernie won 18-19. I don’t even know how to argue that, and it’s the first time I’ve ever heard it.

      This seems to be a complete misunderstanding of how the primary system works. I am saying that Bernie won West Virginia and got the majority of those delegates that could be won that day. That is winning the state. The super delegates get lumped in but they aren’t a part of the same process. Bernie won WV because he got the most votes even if he didn’t get the super delegates he still won the state. You could literally look at my source I provided and you’d see that he won.

      I’d recommend separating the super delegates from the situation and look at it just for what the delegates were up at the time of the vote. Thats what determines who won the state.

      Even better, just look around this wikipedia article to see who won what states and everything. It’s all right there. I’m just repeating the literal reality of how it went down.
