What if, what if, what if... irrelevant. It's a proportional delegate race.

2. So now only Florida matters?

Maybe next primary season we can toss out all of the other contests.

3. Here's what we'll do next time
We'll have Florida's Governor (probably a Republican) throw a bouquet of flowers into an audience of would be nominees (hand selected, of course, by the aforementioned state's Governor). Whoever catches the bouquet wins and is heralded by Fox News as the best choice for the nomination.

4. Caucuses don't matter. Primaries don't matter. Delegates don't matter.
