Joe Biden And Donald Trumpyesterday on the scheduled “mini super Tuesday”, they put the Nomination in the safe by exceeding in their respective fields the number of delegates necessary to be officially candidates for the Presidency in future summer conventions.
This is while in both sides a good twenty statesgiven the calendar of Caucuses and Primaries at its established time, they haven’t said anything yet.
Among others, Florida, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania! How many voters thus downgraded (New Yorkers essentially no longer count for anything, for example!) will still go to the polls?
Of course, things go differently when nominations are contested (in 2008, in the democratic field, between Barack Obama And Hillary Clinton, how nostalgic!) but it rarely happens. I remember when a certain number of state party sections rebelled, not wanting to fall into anonymity.
They decided against the wishes of the national bodies to bring forward the consultations. It ended badly because the resulting results were not taken into consideration almost as the primaries and caucuses they called had not taken place. A big problem that should be given special attention.
