...even though Hillary basically mathematically eliminated Sanders from contention on Super Tuesday.

Why they are trying to crown Sanders now after just three states, when he is doing even worse than last go around when he couldn't manage a majority of delegates to win the nomination, I have no clue. Like I said, maybe they are afraid of his online supporters and don't want to get bullied in their Twitter feeds.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
