26. But if she's only won "almost" all the states
then doesn't that mean she'll lose the election?

Remember, the argument is that Obama will lose the GE because he won't win any state he lost in the primary. This must also extend to Hillary. And if that's the case, we can't win, because she lost Illinois.

The "big states" that Hillary won would vote Democratic if Charles Manson was the nominee. Whichever candidate is the nominee will win those states. The argument that she's the safer bet because she'll carry those states is fundamentally flawed, since either one of them will carry those states.
