Remember folks, the winner of the popular vote may not win the most delegates on Feb. 5
I see a lot of uninformed posters cheering the fact that their candidate is polling ahead in a certain state. Delegates are awarded proportionately and the winner of the popular may not end up with the most delegates on Super Tuesday. For example, a congressional district may have 4 delegates and split them 2 a piece, even though a said candidate won by 10% or more.
So people need to chill about this candidate is ahead in 16 states or whatever. The popular vote means nothing. The delegate counts is what brings the nomination.
Plus the super delegate thing. It is all very complicated and we should not get excited about polls or even if our candidate "wins" a primary. We will not know much until after Super Tuesday. As usual, the popular vote does not mean a thing. Thanks for the reminder to get our heads out of the clouds.
