The key takeaway is there's a fairly strong (& intuitive) empirical relationship between how many candidates run, and how much of the vote the top candidate gets across all primaries and caucuses. In a fields this large, you probably wouldn't expect the top candidate to get 50%+. https://t.co/zJunTDyGs1 — PolitiTweet.org

I should probably re-up this now that there *really are* 20 Democrats running. https://t.co/J6ciG3x14h — PolitiTweet.org

And under Democrats' current rules, if you don't get close to 50% of the *vote*, it's hard to get 50% of the first-ballot *delegates*, which means you go to a second ballot (at least nominally a contested convention!) where superdelegates can weigh in after all. — PolitiTweet.org
