As you won’t be surprised to learn, I have a Grand Unified Theory regarding the 2016 race. Briefly, Obama wants a third term, either directly or through Biden. Sometime last summer, he ordered the media to jack up coverage of Trump. Not so long ago, the airwaves were considered a public trust and the networks followed the "equal time" principle. That rule prevented anything like the lopsided coverage we see this year. If Trump is nominated, as looks increasingly likely, the Republicans will have selected the the weakest contender in the field. According to this theory, Hillary will be indicted sometime between the end of the primaries and the opening of the Democratic National Convention. With the help of the supers, Biden will be nominated in place of Hillary. Obama will have overturned the constitution and achieved a coup.

If you want to follow the delegate math in the lead-up to Cleveland, [http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/R-Alloc.phtml The Green Papers] and [https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page Ballotpedia] are the essential resources. Here is a detail I didn't see covered in the news media: Each state gets three "party leader" delegates. These are the national committeeman, the national committee woman, and the chairman of the jurisdiction's Republican Party. That means 168 delegates (out of 2,472) automatically go to unbound party regulars. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 20:12, 25 March 2016 (EDT)
