Bernie Wins West Virginia as Rancor for the Proletariat Builds

The fear of the dictatorship of the proletariat is real.Bernie Sanders won the West Virginia primary yesterday by a rather large percentage, something like 51% to 36%. It's significant because Hillary Clinton won that primary in 2008.
Bernie didn't cut much into Hillary's delegate count lead though. Officially, he garnered 16 delegates while Hillary took home 11 but Wikipedia claims he took 18 of the pledged delegates while she took 11. The Wiki page goes on to show that she got 6 of the 7 unpledged delegates (or Superdelegates) meaning the overall account was 19 to 17. A difference of 2 delegates.
Overall the pledged delegate count currently stands at 1,716 to 1,430, a difference of 286. The Superdelegates are the real problem though with Hillary holding 523 to his paltry 39. Superdelegates are establishment party insiders who are there to make sure a real populist doesn't rise from the ranks of the lefties to run the country. They were motivated to create this rigged system after a peanut farmer from Georgia moved into the White House.
Can't have that in the land of the free and home of the brave.
Kentucky and Oregon are next week and it looks as though Bernie may win every contest this month with the exception of Guam and that would be a big deal. But not in the minds of the talking heads.
I've noticed a trend developing in the media right now with all these establishment cheerleaders pretending to be journalists saying that West Virginia was expected to fall" to Bernie because of high poverty rate and Hillary's various comments about the coal industry dying off.
Bernie supporters, as well as Trump supporters, are routinely being relegated to the ranks of "disgruntled globalization losers" who are bitter about not being included in the great free-market love-fest the millionaire TV personalities are enjoying right now. Surely it wont be long before they start talking about how all us proles are going to mess up a good thing for the rest of the country as their fear of the dictatorship of the proletariat boils within them.
