Is Hillary "inevitable" again ? ? ?

I don't get this sudden rush to say that Hillary Clinton is "inevitable" again, as one headline on Huffington Post suggested.   Another: "Nevada win bodes well for Clinton's national chances."

She won Nevada by about 600 votes.   Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire by 50,000 votes.   And the caucuses are terrible predictors of real preference, given the difficulties people go through to participate and the vagaries of turnout.

That small number doesn't tell us much -- except that the media is paving the way for Hillary at the expense to fairness to Bernie.
