I wish the children would learn how elections are run. DELEGATES mean everything winning % don't mean shit. Hillary won Nevada by 10 points. Obama ended up with more delegates from Nevada.

Clinton won the popular vote in Nevada 51 to 45. If you think that adds up to 10 points then we have bigger problems than I thought in our public education system.
The reason Obama won more delegates in Nevada is because of the way the state decided to apportion them, the candidates had nothing to do with those rules.
The fact is that neither candidate will have the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination outright. This makes the popular vote even more important because when the party leaders meet to decide how to handle (or avoid) a brokered convention, who has the most votes is definitely going to matter.
Also, for those of you who don't think 58 to 41 is a wipeout, anything 10 points or more is considered a landslide in an election. (Reagan beat Carter 50.7% to 41%)
