    But he won’t win the primary. I don’t understand that. Democrats have superdelegates. He’s got to win the first round or well more than normal in a contested convention.

      The point is people will vote for him in the primary, get butthurt when he loses, and then not vote for Biden in the general. Or worse, vote for the Republican candidate.

      It’s not a pure mathematical game, it’s about getting people to pick a team.
