Hillary Clinton keeps losing. So how come she's winning?

Bernie Sanders is on a roll. He's won the last two Democratic primaries and stands a good chance Tuesday of adding Oregon and perhaps Kentucky to his pile of victories.
Yet Hillary Clinton is likely to continue her seemingly unstoppable march to the party's presidential nomination.
How can that be?
It's not a conspiracy, as some angry Sanders backers suggest, a result of dark magic or a wrinkle in the time-space continuum. Rather, it's the rules that Democrats play by -- rules that now work to Clinton's advantage, even as they thwarted her candidacy eight years ago, when she lost a nominating fight to then-Sen. Barack Obama.

It sounds like Hillary needs to offer the VP to Cruz since they both use the same playbook to gather delegatesWhy does Cruz Derangement Syndrome cause people to post such silliness...?
Cruz worked for his by playing by the rules, Hillary was basically given her superdelegates because they want to crown her...
Cruz didn't change the rules, he just knew how they worked...
He did nothing wrong...

When Senator Cruz actually stops trying to influence the convention and endorses Trump I’ll stop. All he has to do is endorse the winner and go back to the Senate.
BTW both Paul Le Page and Jan Brewer claim that Senator Cruz abused the rules regarding unbound delegates. I would think that State Governors would know those rules. What he was doing was unprecedented and in some instances did directly attempt to circumvent the wishes of the people who voted in primaries and caucuses.
That may not be against the rules but it smells like it is unethical when traditionally the unbound delegates were assigned proportionally and he arraigned to take all of them.
I am an ex-Cruz supporter

Most of her lead is from the super delegates. If Sanders can win the majority of the popular vote and the delegates from the primaries, the super delegates may reconsider.
That's Sanders' only real hope as far as I can see.

The DNC is running a 1992 and 2008 campaign. The problem is that Hillary is not bill or Obama. She has zero personality. The Bernie supporters especially college age won’t drag their butts out of bed to vote for Hillary. There will not be an official stop Hillary movement but it will be natural where people just won’t vote for her.

Given Bernie Sanders supporters propensity to incite violence as we've seen in Nevada, Chicago (Trump Rally) and elsewhere, the Democrats would be wise to prepare for a rather ... "contentious" convention this summer.
I'm having visions of Chicago in 1968 dancing through my head -- and I remember those riots!
