            Yeah I pressed it. I suspect bad data.

              You think? Find me one starting pitcher in baseball who throws a curveball anywhere approaching 60% of the time. And those who throw their breaking balls upwards of 30% of the time usually do so because those are killer pitches. Fangraphs says Ray threw his curve 16% of the time. Ahh...I just realized, it may be a hearing issue on JJ's part. 60% and 16% sound a lot alike when spoken.

                Still not sure I buy his was the worst curve in baseball, but whatever, at least half the mystery makes sense.

                  And getting halfway there is good enough around here.

                              Do most BernieBros' logical reasoning processes suffer this badly?

I'm asking about what you think is a fair way for a party to choose a nominee among multiple potentially viable choices. I'll take the names off of it because, although I thought that would help clarify, it seems to be confusing instead.

                                New Hypothetical Scenario:
                                40% vote for Candidate A, 30% would have Candidate B as their second choice, 10% would have Candidate C as their second choice
                                35% vote for Candidate B, all 35% would have Candidate C as their second choice and they all absolutely abhor Candidate A
                                25% vote for Candidate C, all 25% would have Candidate B as their second choice and they all absolutely abhor Candidate A

                                You think Candidate A should win the nomination with 40% support, even though 60% of the electorate hate Candidate A? Or would Candidate B, with 35% support as first choice and 55% support as second choice, be a better representative of the will of the electorate?
                                I'm struggling to decide, is Bernie candidate A or candidate B? That may help me answer
