    We'll find out. My theory is that while they can ratfuck someone in a close race (remember how pre-Super Tuesday projections had Bernie maybe winning a slim majority of delegates), it's much more difficult to ratfuck a clear winner. If someone can win a clear majority of delegates, they can't win with the "get all the centrist opponents to drop out and endorse Biden" trick. If we're talking about vote fudging, it's more believable and probably requires less conspirators to flip a close race than a race with an obvious favorite. If it's ginning up some Alex Morse-style allegation, a clear favorite can bleed more voters and still win. If it's some unprecedented procedural fuckery (I don't know, maybe expelling him from the party or something?), it's more obviously a scam with a clear favorite, and a clear favorite has a better chance of running a competitive third party campaign.

        I didn't say twitter was real life, and I didn't say he would be a clear winner. My point is that the margin of victory is probably a factor in how easy it is to ratfuck a candidate.
