Bernie Sanders is this year's biggest story
(snip)
The New York Times' Yamiche Alcindor wrote, "Covering Mr. Sanders is at times like watching a man almost surprised by his success and eager to make it last." In my experience, his supporters feel the same -- a sort of "Can you believe this is happening?" mix of elation and shock.

These are the voters who were perennially accustomed to holding their noses and voting for the least-worst option and then spending the rest of their time railing against the corrupt center-right system. I should know, I'm one of them.
They/we/I never expected to see a presidential candidate championing universal single payer health care -- let alone, gasp, that candidate have a shot at winning. I suspect that candidate didn't see it coming, either.

And his campaign is, I think rightly, pushing superdelegates to retract their anti-democratic support for Hillary Clinton and instead side with the voters in their states. But whatever happens, when November comes and goes, Sanders' campaign won't be over.
