Life is complicated. Politics and policy require attention. Sometimes, the basic truths escape, obscured by spin and a metaphor becomes the best way to boil a subject down to its essence. In that vein, I offer a few examples for the low information voters you encounter.

As the Florida and Michigan voters were not given the opportunity to participate in an officially sanctioned primary, the "votes" that residents of these states cast were nothing more than formalized responses to a polling question.

These illegitimate contests should not be referred to as Primaries, so as to in any way equate them to the true officially sanctioned Primaries and Caucuses.

Forget campaign debt. Forget Vice President. Hillary is staying in because of Puerto Rico and the Popular Vote.
