29. look at it this way - what if half the states NEVER get to hold a primary before the convention date

It's possible that republican governors can just continue to postpone elections without providing any provisions for mail in voting instead.

At that point, nobody gets to 50%. That forces a convention fight, which is what they want. They want party disunity.

This has to end. The people have chosen, or polls show how they would chose.

Pull the plug, declare a winner, move on to November.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
