Winning a primary with 35% isn’t winning. It’s just losing with the highest result.
it’s also apparent that your guy is losing by much more. I’m betting that if your guy was winning with 35 you’d be satisfied.
Yes, yes, pulling in double or more of your next closest competitor isn’t winning..... I’ll be sure to let the next team that wins by a single point know they lost.
Or the next Marathon winner, who only placed first by a few seconds in a crowd of thousands that they lost.
You are either the lead dog, or the view never changes.
So what do you call second place at 16%? Losing even more with the second highest result?
