It is if the fan base can expand beyond 20-25% of the primary electorate. And the Dems nominated Obama and the Clintons, who all had enthusiastic supporters (though in the case of Hillary, not enough of them).

For better or worse, as I recall, Bill Clinton won both the EC and the popular vote in the general election. Twice.

Weird how you skip over WJC and Obama. Surely this is an oversight and you not being disingenuous.
