happened to Hillary in NV in 2008 and nobody here gave a shit because their preferred candidate won. Now I don't give a shit. It's not rigged - those are the stupid rules. Don't like them, get onto whatever state committee runs your caucus/primary system and change them - whining about the rules in the middle of the game smacks of sore losers.
