Neither Sanders or Trump will capture 30% of all registered voters.(easy call in a party primary, especially since neither Party in Oregon has 50% of registered voters at this point).    We not only allow a low bar for our candidates, we have a very low bar for our voters.

Readers can expect the general election winner will be well under 50% of all registered voters and much lower than that as a percentage of eligible voters.     It may not be a situation that will be changed a lot, it's a long term behavior pattern, but you would hope it would kill the 'I speak for 'the people,' nonsense common in all campaigns.
