15. Caucuses inherently disenfranchise a large swath of voters.

If she is able to win the popular vote, it will be because the people chose her.

A lead in pledged delegates without a majority of delegates overall is an arbitrary figure.

I think it is patently absurd to say that the popular vote is undemocratic.
