I hate caucuses. They are so undemocratic. honest.abe Feb 2020 #1

It is still a bump though sweetloukillbot Feb 2020 #2

technically he is winning 47% of all the national delegates dumptrump1 Feb 2020 #13

He has 47% (actually 45%) of only 2.6% of the delegates, or 1.2% of all national delegates.... George II Feb 2020 #19
