together to ensure that Sanders couldn't win.
Early inklings of what was coming showed up when Iowa would not release the results of the voting & belatedly declared that Hillary had gotten slightly more delegates than Sanders.
Then New Hampshire released the results and Sanders won in a landslide of the popular vote... but Hillary almost matched him in the delegate count and at that point Hillary was still ahead in delegates though Sanders likely won both states, one in a landslide.
Later we saw how the DNC colluded with the media to ask questions of Sanders that would be most damaging to him and even to give at least one debate question to Hillary before the debate happened.
Sanders won 7 states in a row and was very much alive in the primaries but the media narrative across the board was that he was finished and people might as well not be sending him money, going to rallies or voting for him as they were declaring Hillary to be unbeatable.
