If Sanders has 30% of delegates, Biden has 25%, Buttigieg has 20%, and Klobuchar has 20%, then what even is fair? It is very clear the boring moderate lane got the most votes and their voters just split on the exact choice. Sanders might have a slight overall lead but the goal isnt to have a slight overall lead but to get the majority of delegates. The good news is this means every primary is actually important this year and you really will need to vote! The bad news is 538 currently predicts the most likely outcome is DISASTER and some chunk of the base will be mad and Trump cruises to an easy re-election. fun This could easily be solved by making each state winner take all. Then most likely Sanders would have a clean majority of the delegates. Alternately, it's possible 1 or 2 of the moderates would have dropped out early when they weren't actually getting any delegates from coming in third or fourth and Biden or Buttigieg would have a majority (as well as being the national popular vote winner). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:934366412] in Politics C...
