3. Even then, in the GE, there are complete popular vote tallies. No such thing exists in the primary. |

8. Who cares? The popular vote is a meaningless metric that counts nothing. |

10. Irrelevant much? The popular vote was a logical metric in 2000. Not in these primaries. |

11. No, there wasn't. There are no popular votes in caucus states, ergo, no national popular vote metric |
