peterserman9: Does the D.C. primary matter at all?

Yes, D.C. has a Republican primary. And Republicans.

The city that GOP candidates love to trash will award sixteen delegates next Tuesday on a winner-take-all basis.

Small change, for sure, but in the race to 1,144 delegates every little bit helps. D.C. allocates more delegates than three other states (Delaware, New Hampshire, and Vermont) and four territories.
