"WY was a Sanders victory, even though Hill won 4 more delegates than BS. The media says it was a BS victory, so it was. He won the raw vote, so it was a victory, and a victory that added to his streak of victories," etc, etc.

Yes, that and a Metrocard (not a subway token) will get you downtown, as the saying goes (the saying in NYC used to be "that and a subway token will get you downtown," back when they used tokens. Sanders campaign, take note: no more tokens).
