People might get the wrong idea.



Anyway, by tomorrow morning the pundits will be all over the TV machine telling everybody not to believe their lying eyes, that Clinton wiped the floor with Bernie.

But I don't think that bullshit will fly this time.

A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote.

If you had read all the way to the bottom, you would have seen this and realized that Time doesn't consider them as representative of anything important.
