The Delegate Quirk That Enabled Trump's Rise - Bloomberg View

"....A candidate can clinch the nomination without ever persuading a majority of voters in any given state.....

"a new poll shows Trump losing head-to-head matchups against both Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio....

"[How about] runoff elections between the top two finishers when no candidate receives a majority of votes. Runoffs are fairly common in local and statewide races, and they can be very useful....

"Trump has exposed a central flaw in the nominating system -- the possibility of selecting a nominee who lacks majority support -- that will prompt leaders in both parties to consider ways to protect against it. Even if Trump fails to win the nomination, he may have a lasting impact on presidential politics."
