The necessary addendum to this is that the process would require that if no one gets >50% of the vote, the candidate(s) with the lowest vote totals would be eliminated and there would be a re-vote with the remaining candidates. This process would continue until someone reaches >50% of the vote.

Otherwise there could be a situation where there's 3 generally liberal candidates splitting the liberal vote and 1 conservative candidate that wins by default.

I really do wonder how much equity the Trump bettors gained by including the death exception

This process is generally solved by allowing back-up votes.

So if you let every liberal voter declare 1. 2. 3., and if their top choice isn't in the top 2, the vote gets punted to #2, re-calculate everything, punt to #3, etc.

No need to actually spend multiple election cycles on it, unless we wanted the theatre of it all.

Who doesn't want the theater? It's top notch entertainment.

Grunching but Trump isn't a racist because racist people like him.

He's racist because of what he says and does, and beyond that because he retweets racists, and gives press passes to racists despite having an exhaustive blackball press list, and pretends to not know who David Duke is despite written and video record evidence to the contrary.

A lot of you are so pissed off at THE PC POLICE that you form strong contrarian opinions with obviously not even a small bit of background research. At least I hope so, because that stupid look is the best look for you.

I'm sure one of you would respond and cherry pick that he can't know if every tweeter or "member of the press" is racist, but they have names like WhiteGenocideTM.
