Exactly.. a Democrat can have 100% of their own delegates, and still lose the election.

Really not sure what the point of comparing the two are at all...

Super Tuesday polls point to big wins for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton – Zap2It
Do you understand it takes almost twice as many delegates to win a Democrat primary nomination than a Republican one? Inflation.

hahaha, I though it was because of their high taxes.

Should Hillary be "sharing" those delegates among the losers in the name of fairness?

Why? Those are proletariat delegates. The Party is the protector of dissident voters who might find themselves temporarily lost. She's clearly a Hero of the People, and to Working Families.

Isn't Democratic Socialism great?

A bunch of those are the superdelegates that can change. Right now it is Clinton 90- Bernie 65 with 1 delegate too close to call.

I thought that it was a given that the game is rigged.

Exactly. It really helps to have a clue what is going on.

There's already fraud with shenanigans going on in Texas--people voting for Trump are seeing their votes appear for Rubio.

That didn't take long.
