Re: Sanders - Clinton beat him by a whole 12% of the votes (3,682,000). And that's just with the Dems voting. Pretty much a landslide.

By comparison, Trump lost to Clinton in the popular vote by 2.1% (2,868,691) and that's with both parties voting.

Hey, why don't they use the electoral college in the primaries? (might be a dumb question - it just popped into my head)
