I genuinely hope he backs all of that up should he get in. I doubt he can do the half of it, based on how truculent the lower houses can be when they feel like it but I hope he can. Having said that I'll wait until he's in and active before I believe a word of it regardless of his consistency.
Your skepticism is understandable. Enjoy the ride :)

I have to imagine a lot of this could be fixed with two or three changes.

1> Move to popular vote. The electoral system, caucasas,etc. seems to add a layer of fuckery.
2> Give a printed ballot from every voting machine and tally those
3> Standardize party rules across all 50 states for formation, primaries, automatic registration, etc.

That would move to a large truly democratic turnout (harder to rig), have modern results that can be audited, and increase party participation by voters and parties.

All of this is a tough pill to swallow because it disrupts the two party process that can be manipulating by party insiders.
Although it would change things drastically, some kind of proportional representation system for the house, congress, or both, rather than first past the post systems seems to promote more parties and greater options which provide better overall representation, combined with election spending caps and public funding for candidates, is the way forward.

Seeing Cruz get 3rd and no delegates, as well as knowing that is going to happen AGAIN soon, just...My God this freedom boner.
Can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning, check the front page of Reddit, and see a new poll that has Bernie outperforming Hillary nationwide.

So he doesn't commit to anything, but I'll use the polls and his demographic breakdown to make some estimates:

Over 50%
1,2,3,4,5,8,11,14,16,17,18,26,27

Under 50%
6,7,9,15,19,20,21,22, 23,24,25

Might not get 1st place
10,12,13



Delegates:

Total up for grabs: 95

14 State win
13*3 = 39
11*2 = 22

= 75

75/95= 78%



If following the 538 tracker, that would be a good showing for Trump.
I also think we will see a handful of those 45% polling ares sneak over the 50%. So maybe 78-80 delegates will be won.

Thoughts?

538CUCKS.com

Almost every one of their "gonna be a hard district" was >50%

90+ delegates

Wow. Look at the 12th district. Gonna need a recount on that shit. Less than 100 votes.




Regardless, 90 mothafuckin delegates.
