> Sanders was pushed aside for the establishment candidate with the help of super delegates
When I google "sanders delegate total" I see a nice Google page showing that Clinton actually has a higher total of plain old regular delegates than Sanders has.
It seems like Clinton just simply got more support from the electorate than Sanders did. I don't think the "super delegate explanation" can be invoked to explain the loss here.
Sanders did a fantastic job as a non-establishment, grass-roots candidate. He came very very close to pushing Clinton aside. So close. But ... not ... quite...
