47. This is going to be a mess but entertaining

Jan 2019

with such a large field. We potentially could see a few front runners winning states with 20% of the vote. That's one reason I'm behind Biden jumping in, he can easily win with 30% in every state and potentially sweep the first primaries.

I worry about the convention though, the person with the most delegates won't automatically be the nominee if two or three other candidates combine their forces with some kind of deal. That's what I think could be the real mess.

Harris and Warren had the same position with respect to Franken as Gillibrand oberliner Jan 2019 #52
