Caucus less than 10% turnout, Primary greater than 10% turnout

You can't measure popular vote when half the states have systems that create lower turnout.

That's why you have delegates for proportional representation.

You can't count popular vote unless everyone votes the same way and has the same opportunity.

Sorry HRC, that is why it was never a metric in the primaries.



But use your "big states" argument, that one works...

until BO counters with his "big cities" argument...

then you look foolish.



But you can always fall back on the "black man = boogey man" argument.

That one never fails.

1. Hillary's metrics are just about a sales pitch to super delegates

The popular votes caries no actual weight because of the way the primaries are organized - everybody knows that, but anything can be used as a tool to sell, sell, sell.

Hillary has become a sales person trying to sell used goods that are in poor condition - and her sales campaign bears that out.

3. and a plea for money

It is rather interesting watching her tentative alliance with the far Right - just for money and points. And suddenly she appears with right-wing tough talking points to toss to them.

2. I predict her campaign strategy is going to backfire

It's amazing enough that she isn't even embarassed at her inability to win nearly 30 states, despite having a well-known husband to tag-team campaign, a well-established support mechanism, and what was thought to be plenty of funds. She made her own bed and hasn't been able to do the most important thing that would be key for a fall campaign with her as a nominee...reduce her negative ratings.

And if she hasn't managed to do that by now, she won't in the fall.
