3. The focus on 'winning' in terms of percentage, rather than in delegate totals...
betrays an amazing ignorance of the process on the part of a lot of people, too...Hillary 'won' Nevada, in terms of percentage of total vote; she LOST in terms of number of delegates. The same could happen in, conceivably, ANY state where the voting margins favour the 'losing' candidate in areas with more total delegates (which is something supporters of both candidates who choose to engage in the message-board equivalent of an end-zone celebration after a touchdown would do well to keep in mind).
