I wouldn't call getting 1000 delegates, winning several states, earning a sizable chunk of the popular vote and a clear 2nd place a "hilariously one sided defeat" If more democrats stayed in the race after South Carolina instead of all dropping out like flies the day before super tuesday, there is decent chance he would be the nominee right now.
