Yeah, I know. It's crazy that in the general election someone gets 49% of the vote in Missouri but gets 0 electoral votes! The outrage!
My point is no system is perfect. They knew the rules going in and Hillary's campaign said early on it was "about delegate" and that the Michigan and Florida primaries "won't count for anything". Crying about why the rules or the system aren't working in your favor makes you look like a sore loser that can't get your way. Plain and simple.
On topic, I wish Obama didn't take the prospective nominee route and basically cede Kentucky and West Virginia to Hillary. (By the way, not sure why Hillary supporters are touting this as some hard fought battle, she had these states in the bag long ago but spin is spin I guess) I wish he could have fought to make it a bit closer though. However, I'm sure the campaign had data that told them not to bother. Maybe spending 30 million in a state for 2% of the vote didn't seem worth it when it wasn't going to change the fact he will be the nominee anyway. Although, they've done really well so far, so I'm sure that they know what they are doing and I'll trust their judgment.
