Probably, you may see the same thing happen to Trump....
The system has aspects that suck, but it is the system we have.. Go back to the Popular Vote? Good evening President Gore....

Probably not. The Democrats have their own special system .
It is pretty ironic though isn't it? Bernie worked so hard for something only to have it taken away and given to somebody that doesn't deserve it 😂😂

In the electoral college, within a state, it is by popular vote.

She has NINE TIMES the delegates he has. One state was a tie, in one state she got clobbered. And she has nine times the delegates.

That doesn't come close to resembling democracy, I dare you to make that wrong. You can't.

A small number of people controlling that party, will decide who the nominee is. The people have no say. If Trump wins the states with the most delegates, it would piss me off if a small number of GOP kingmakers took that from him.
