Worse, do they know we expected to lose by about that much?

Let's put this in NASCAR terms: Dale Earnhardt led, at one time or another in his career, every lap in the Daytona 500. No one remembers the year he led lap 43.

Everyone remembers the year he led lap 200.

Bernie just led lap 43. Hillary will lead lap 200.
