2. My understanding is it's not winner take all

The Guardian says "Tennessee:,55 delegates (27 by congressional district, 28 proportionately)"

3. TN delegates: if winner receives a majority Winner-Take-All, otherwise Proportional

4. More complicated than that, from lower down in that link

27 district delegates, 3 from each of the 9 congressional districts, are to be allocated to the presidential contenders based on the primary results in each congressional district. [ByLaws of the Tennessee Republican Party. Article IX. Rule C. Section 1. and Section 4A.]

If a candidate receives more than 2/3 of the vote in a congressional district, that candidate receives all 3 delegates.
Otherwise, if only 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate receives all 3 delegates.
Otherwise, if 2 or more candidates receive more than 20% of the vote, the highest vote getter receives 2 delegates and the next highest vote getter receives 1 delegate.
Otherwise, the top 3 vote getters each receive 1 delegate.
The district delegates are directly elected and appear on the primary ballot.

The 28 At-Large delegates are bound "winner-take-most" to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide. [Article IX. Rule C. Section 1. and Section 4B.]

If a candidate receives more than 2/3 of the vote statewide, that candidate receives all 28 delegates.
Otherwise, if only 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate receives all 28 delegates.
Otherwise, if 2 or more candidates receive more than 20% of the vote, the delegates are distributed proportionally to those candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote. (Here, the "total qualified vote" is the total number of votes cast to those candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote.)
Otherwise, delegates are distributed proportionally. (The "total qualified vote" = total statewide vote.)
One half of the at-large delegates are directly elected and appear on the primary ballot.

Proportional distribution and rounding: Beginning with the candidate who received the most votes, multiply [the percentage of votes received] by [28 National Convention Delegates] and divide by [total qualified vote]. Round any remainder up to the next whole number. Repeat for the next highest vote getter until all 28 delegates are allocated.

6. So I guess Mitt singing "Davy Crockett" didn't do a lot of good ...

Maybe he should have worn the coonskin cap.
