Which is wider?

Bernie Sanders' narrow path to victory?

or

One of the hairs in Donald Trump's first toupee?

Seriously tho, the whole "will of the voters" thing is extremely strange. There is no scenario for dividing SDs - besides just handing every one of them to Bernie because voters love their taxes being doubled, or something - that puts Bernie ahead. Winner-take-all-supers gives Bernie fewer. Proportional granting (60 percent of popular vote = 60 percent of supers) gives Bernie fewer. Giving them out according to how easily a candidate can beat Trump is kinda weird of an idea because presidenting isn't a system where the more you beat the other guy by the more powers you get...and because Deez Nuts, the 15-year-old kid who launched a joke campaign for president a few months ago, would beat Donald Hindenburg Trump.

... and, although the "hairs" are wide, they are still narrower than Bernie's path.
