The exit polls do not match the results. Exit polls are usually the accurate indicator, not outdated polls conducted before elections where they use outdated and flawed methods such as landlines and polling likely "Democratic" voters even in open primaries.

I highly doubt this is a coincidence. If it happened in the GE favoring the GOP candidate you guys would be all over it, but since it is favoring Hillary almost every single time the Hillary fans are silent or ridiculing Bernie supporters for caring about democracy and fair elections.
