It would be naive not to think that Harry Reid didn't have a significant role in Hillary's "win"...
in Nevada.
Harry Reid is clearly a top part of the Democratic Party establishment, and he is VERY powerful in Nevada, according to Nevada journalists. Harry Reid is also pretty corrupt. It's clear that Harry Reid has an interest in Bernie not winning the primaries, because Bernie is really fighting not just the corporate establishment, but the political establishment. Reid has made his fortunes in building a political machine and making easy money off of it. Reid like many other corrupt Democrats have a clear interest in Bernie losing. These people are not in politics to "serve the people", they are in it to get more rich.
“It’s like an iron fist inside a titanium glove,” said Sebelius of Reid’s control over the state’s Democratic Party. “His people are firmly in control. Who runs is who he wants to run, and who doesn’t run is who he doesn’t want to run. There’s no one on the Republican side with that kind of influence and control.”
Damore suggested that Reid -- because of his extensive in-state political network and status as Senate majority leader -- may be “the most powerful politician in Nevada state history,” an assertion that several other state political experts agreed with (or at least saw some merit in). But Nevada politicos don’t really debate about the degree of Reid’s power. Rather, the question is whether he has always used it appropriately.

who may be on good terms with the political bosses are promising their employees something if so-and-so wins the caucus. Even a day off would probably be enough to sway some people who might otherwise not vote at all.
