"If Clinton loses NH by less than 30 then it's a win." No it isn't.

If she loses by .3 in that specific race, that's something of a win for her. Our logic only breaks down when carried to the absurd extreme.


"That's the Sanders supporter logic, right? Bernie didn't lose Iowa by 20 and almost tied it so it is a win for Bernie.

So, she is supposed to lose NH by 30. If she only loses by, say, 20 then we declare victory. Or does that only work if she loses by a hair? I'm trying to understand their logic.

A loss isn't a loss if it's a win because it's a close loss and everyone counted him out and look he didn't lose by a lot so it's a win. Or something like that.

My head is spinning reading GD-P."
