Democratic Convention Rules

[George II]

9. I don't think so, Buttigieg is only polling in double digits in Iowa, a Midwestern state....

...and he's from (almost) neighboring Indiana, another Midwestern state. He's not doing very well in any of the other three early states (New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina) Also remember, if he doesn't get over 15% he won't have any delegates (other than a small smattering in a few districts where he gets over 15%) with which to become a "kingmaker".

With all the "minor" candidates splitting a big chunk of voters, they'll be keeping many of their fellow candidates below that magic 15%. Until some start to drop out, I can see Biden and Sanders getting all of the delegates, and maybe even in a state or two Biden might get ALL the delegates since the minor candidates may even keep Sanders below 15%!
