Not prompted by anything in particular, but I continue to think Democrats' extremely proportional delegate allocation rules are a big problem for them, making it much more likely that a nominee must chosen at the convention. You probably want some winner-take-all delegates.

Have any candidates been asked if you’d like a single popular vote?

Why shouldn't people be able to vote proportional like most other countries manage?

It's weird to complain about the Electoral College and then actively try to engineer a primary system that generates early and decisive wins from a handful of non-representative states. Let all the states vote at once at the end of the campaign.

But the 15% threshold makes it top-2 take all or top-3 take all. So while not winner take all, it will concentrate delegates and make a majority more likely for someone before the convention.

In an early state with such a large field it is a reasonable probability (~20%) that it will be winner take all with one candidate only breaking over 15%.

See, the problem is, that you're just designing a dumb system to replace another dumb system. All primaries should be held on the same day.

That would have led to replacing the narrow split in the Montana delegation instead being 100% Bernie in 2016. That could have completely sunk Bullocks chances for reelection if such a narrow wing of the state party had been the only representation on the national stage.
