82. What's done is done at this point
What basis do you have for saying 10%, vs. 11.5 %, 20% or 25%. I do agree that he should have spent more time there, but I do NOT think he would have gotten it to the same margin that he got in P.A> which had a SIGNIFICANTLY larger population that has fit his traditional demographic groups in this primary, relative to kentucky. To even begin to make a larger dent IMO, he'd have to significantly increase his spending, like he did in PA and STILL lost by 10%(well according to the media). Do you know why he didn't do that this time? Because(IMO) he KNEW what would happen if he spent tons of money in KY and lost, the same fucking thing that happened in PA. "Oh he outspent me 3-1 and still lost!!!!111!" He didn't play their game this time, he knows that PLEDGED delegates were his key to victory here and didn't want to give ANY legitimacy to their tactics or arguments. If you think that means that he somehow doesn't care about Kentuckians (and I'm not saying that you're necessarily implying this) then you're free to go to a candidate who you think does a better job of it.
