I don't understand. You will have to explain that one. Who ever gets to 270 or more wins. Why do Democrats need more?
The point I was trying to make is that winning or losing has far more to do with the candidates than the system. Obama's wins in 2008 and 2012 were impressive. In 2012 he beat a fairly good Republican candidate Romney 332 to 206. Four years later, Hillary Clinton couldn't beat a reality TV star with no political experience. Clinton was a flawed candidate with a long history of corruption and a very unlikable personality. The DNC should have known better. And did they learn anything? Apparently not.

I'm a foreigner as well. Canadian born and bred. I am also an unabashed American political junkie. Such entertainment and it's free.
