Hillary was able to hold on thanks to the voters. Remember them? The close to 18M who voted for her? Furthermore, she won most major states' primaries, while Obama's small pledged delegate advantage was due to the caucuses. Neither Obama nor Hillary had enough pledged delegates to win the nomination outright. The nomination was eventually decided by the super delegates.

To compare that vile man to Hillary is nauseating.
