It's the number of states won, not the popular vote, not the delegates which are divided based upon the popular vote, but the number of states one.

So New Hampshire with 4 EV's is greater than Ohio with 20 EV's. I see. The extremes on both sides have an allergy to logic.

Don't worry Tex, that little birdy came by to tell Bernie it's over. If Berns doesn't believe that, we in the Northeast will show him next month.
