Bernie's 'Distorted Reality'

With Bernie's camp going all in on the racially-tinged criticism that the South 'distorts reality', I think we should return to a salient question about the primary calendar:

Why do Iowa and New Hampshire get to go first?

If Bernie thinks he's only losing because the South got to vote before the all important states of Idaho and Wyoming, let's consider the inverse.

Bernie Sanders might have been out of this race in January if the race did not start out with perhaps the two most unrepresentative states in the country. Crushing forty point losses in truly diverse states would have ended the Sanders candidacy before it started.

Is Bernie complaining about the outsized voice white voters get at the start?

You don't believe that Hillary is responsible for every war since 1910, climate change, and the rise of Hitler?

With all due respect to African American voters and their critical role in the primaries, their numbers are not large enough ALONE to have given the victories to Clinton. There were plenty of white Dems who voted for her as well (particularly women and voters over 45).
