right, winning. as in, not won yet and still competing.
why should it be easy to be president? his job is going to involve getting people of different opinions to ultimately compromise to what he wants to do - this is no different. if a candidate cannot get the majority it says he's failed at his job as a nominee because when you break it down, that's what the entire campaign comes to. the clearest marker of who should lead the party is the guy who managed to get over half of it, clearest market of somebody who shouldn't is all others who failed to do so. if it's a heavily divided field then it's even more important that a candidate prove they can reach that point as it's the clearest evidence of their ability skills at politics and negotiations, exactly what you're looking for in a president.

the argument's sound. the specifics can make or break it though. either way, that's going to be what you hear and there's not much to counter it since that's what they're all trying to do.
