So?Sanders has four more years worth of University bred socialists behind him this time.
I personally am in favor of keeping the Electoral college, just with a few tweeks. I'd like to eliminate the whole "winner take all" part and replace it with a percentage instead, if you get "X" amount of votes that percentage is what you get in delegates. To me? That would eliminate a lot of the "we need the college so the big States don't swamp the little States" (which I have some other trouble with that argument but that's another thread) For instance in California in 2016 because Clinton won she got all 55 delegates on the other hand she only actually 61% of the votes I'd say instead she'd get 33 of the votes and President Trump would have gotten 17 of the votes. So while Clinton would have still been the clear winner there the delegates would have been divided in a more representational way. It's not perfect but I think it helps make the process a little more equal. any way, we should get back to the OP. Sen. Sanders is still in the lead by over 4000+ votes and Biden is still 5th place behind Sen Warren by almost 1,000+ votes.Trying to figure something out. The DNC and most Democrats are for elimination of the electoral college but the way they have the primaries set up, it is to prevent a “winner take all” scenario.
Should they not just have a primary day where all states vote and the candidate with the most in the popular vote wins? Or states set up the primaries where they award delegates based on the national popular vote?
Would have been a good time for the Democratic Party to demonstrate in action what they proposed for the national general election.

Just wondering why they don’t change the rules to what they want in the general election.You are ignoring state laws. New Hampshire has a law that its primary must precede all others. Iowa has a law that requires it to be the first state with a presidential nominating contest. The DNC has no control. For all 56 elections to be on the same day, there can't be any state laws that dictate election dates.

looks like Sanders 8 delegates Buttigieg 7 Klobachur 6 according to CNN.
not according to this:Tom Steyer out too. I can hear the flush of over $100M of personal fortune go down the drain.
