Wasn't #1 in primaries, average campaign event drew less than 100 people, almost never campaigned anyway, almost no interviews, only 2 debates with low viewership, poorer voter turnout than Hillary in almost every category..
Sort of makes one think that anyone, particularly our objective, honest, hard working media, who had an ounce of skepticism (which is required, I believe, to be a good journalist) would scratch their head and say, hmmmm...?
