| red sox 777 11/14/19 12:32:02 PM #83: | The Democrats would need enough candidates to suppress the leader below 15% or whatever their threshold is for getting delegates. Thanks to the Democrats' proportional representation system, it's not enough that Trump wins a plurality in each state - that would get him a plurality of the delegates, but the other delegates would rally around whichever non-Trump candidate has the most delegates and nominate that person. Trump needs an outright majority of the delegates - and that is only going to happen if he can have a bunch of states where he wins all the delegates because none of his competitors reached the minimum threshold. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
