Fun fact: as a percentage of delegates won, not counting superdelegates, Sanders (41.5%) is ahead of Kasich (5.2%), Rubio (15%), and Cruz (35%). Trump has 44.7% and Clinton 58.4%.

I voted Clinton vs. Kasich just because I have a secret love for conspiracy theories, and there’s a lot of time between now and the convention. Also because I just can’t believe the evidence I’m seeing in favor of Trump. Which, apparently, is something I share with Republican party leadership.

It has to be Trump v Clinton because those are the two candidates in the lead right now. Ask again in a month and the results could be very different.
