Because, like it or not, people keep voting for Clinton. baldguy Apr 2016 #20

Because they don't include caucuses where in many states popular vote is not recorded. DemocracyDirect Apr 2016 #26

We don't nominate by popular vote either. morningfog Apr 2016 #18

Delegates are allocated by popular vote. More votes = more delegates. baldguy Apr 2016 #21

She's not floundering, she's winning. n/t Lil Missy Apr 2016 #34

She is "leading" because of her padded delegate count from early on. morningfog Apr 2016 #35
