Go to Bing. Search Bernie Sanders, search Hillary Clinton, search Donald Trump or Mark Rubio, search Iowa caucus. Search just about anything involving the primaries and see what comes up. I'll wait...
I'll attach what you should have seen here.
But that does not really matter. It was so close that each candidate will have one half the delegates for Iowa. 44 delegates going 22 each to Clinton and Sanders.
That's where things stand right now. 22 delegates each.
But Bing is telling anyone who looks up anything to do with the primaries that the delegate count is like this.
Clinton 384
Sanders 29
O'Malley 2
Why? Because of Super Delegates that have already said who they are going to vote for at the DNC.
You see the Democratic National Convention is very undemocratic. 20% of the final delegate count is made of Super Delegates.
It works like this. I'll use Iowa as an example since they just did their Caucus (a primary of sorts, just a really weird one. That's a story for another post) and we know their results.
As I mentioned above there are 44 delegates in Iowa. These are assigned based on the percentage of votes a candidate gets. Last night it was split down the middle. The almost 200,000 people who voted last night get turned into those 44 delegates. But another 8 people, party insiders like the Democratic party chair for the state, are super delegates. They get to vote however they want. They are not bound to the democratic results of the primaries. So that's 52 delegates for Iowa total.
Many of the super delegates (they count for 20% of the total vote and the DNC) have already said who they will vote for. Bing is adding those undemocratic super delegate pledges to the total numbers to make it look like Clinton is in the lead. None of those Super Delegates have voted yet and they may still change their mind, they did in 2008.
But Bing wants us to think that Sanders has no chance. That Clinton is leading him 384 to 29. They want anyone looking into the primaries to think Sanders has already lost. This is perhaps the most evil underhanded thing any news group has done so far this election. While Bing's owner Microsoft is not in Hillary's top donors the Gates foundation (run by Microsoft founder Bill Gates) is the Clinton foundation's (run by Bill and Hillary) top donor having given them over 26 million dollars. While the Gates foundation did not lobby Clinton when she was Secretary of State Microsoft did. Legally this is okay but it's easy to read between the lines and see that the 26 million donation was sure to effect Clinton's views.
This election is going to be a fight the likes of which has not been seen since 1968. In 68 the Super Delegates used the fact that there were multiple pro peace candidates running to elect a pro war Democrat who had not even run in the primary. This led to fist fights on the floor of the DNC including security sucker punching Dan Rather.

We may very well be facing this again. At the very least Bing is trying to use the not yet even voted but only pledged Super Delegates to try and throw the election for Clinton. We are witnessing the perversion of Democracy first hand.
I have now been informed that Google is doing it as well.
