how many potential flip-floppers we have on our hands?

I'm being told that Obama won Texas, despite having fewer popular votes, because he got more delegates.

I think the candidate who wins the most popular votes in anything is the winner, regardless of any rules that state otherwise.

However, I was told:

============================

"Please refer to the rules. Thanks."

and

"That's the system, cboy!"

===============================

Interesting.

Because all I hear is how unfair it will be if the superdelegates decide this in favor of Hillary Clinton, because after all, Obama had the most delegate votes.

But wouldn't that be the system?

So is the system only unfair if Obama ends up losing the nomination?

Or is the system fundamentally unfair for everyone?

I think the person with the most popular votes in anything deserves to win. You know, 2000 and everything.

At least I'm consistent.

Some Obama supporters? Mmmmmm, not so much.
