One key factor is that the dems had super-delegates who could vote anyway they pleased despite the primary results. If the dems did not have super-delegates, the outcome would have likely been different.

The number of delegates required to win the nomination of the Democrat Party was 2382. Without Superdelagates Clinton had 2205, and Sanders 1846. There were 712 total Superdelagates. The fingers of DWS tipped the scale in favor of Herself.
