I don't see what your point is. It's nothing that we didn't already know. As for the popular vote argument, it's not useable because we don't know how many people would have voted for him or any other candidates in Michigan, and caucus states don't record their turnouts.

I'm posting an article from RealClear Politics, they are making the point and I am agreeing with it. If you already knew this, than good for you.

The disrespect Hillary gets from some barack supporters, not all, seem to indicate otherwise.
