aha so there is strategy to Biden-Buttigieg and Warren-Sanders teaming up - I like it - this could get spicySunKing wrote:It'll depend on how the delegates are split and what kind of backroom deals go down. For instance, if Sanders and Warren have a joint majority I could see them sharing the ticket. If Biden isn't the leader and the superdelegates give it to him he'll lose to Trump. Mark it now.
I might be wrong on this but my understanding is that the first round is basically set by the primary results, every delegate has to vote for their candidate, but that in the second round not only are the superdelegates in play but the regular delegates are "released," so to speak. Which could be pandemonium but more likely would be something like Klobuchar's smaller pile being leveraged for a position in someone else's administration.96583UP wrote:aha so there is strategy to Biden-Buttigieg and Warren-Sanders teaming up - I like it - this could get spicySunKing wrote:It'll depend on how the delegates are split and what kind of backroom deals go down.
