Oh, I'm aware that that's the way the rules work, and Hillary and Bernie 
know it too.  I'd say that the use of the word "stole" was too harsh, 
but I wanted people to realize that the delegates that Hillary did get 
from New Hampshire were _not_ the result of New Hampshire people voting 
for her, even proportionally, but the result of calling in political 
debts and pull from her many years.  The way the rules work is "Politics 
as usual".  And I don't have a horse in that race:  I don't want either 
of them for President.  And just forwarding the article saved me a lot 
of work writing it myself, or maybe just gently paraphrasing the article 
and then being nabbed for copyright infringement.
