5. The people who would do this would also vote only for Bernie Sanders

HuffPo is showing Trump with 42 percent support, Cruz with 20.7 percent. Since electors are rationed proportionally to percentage of support, the campaigns could very well send a sizable chunk of their supporters to the Democratic caucus to stand for Bernie.

Question: if the GOP sent half their supporters statewide to caucus for Bernie, how many actual Democrats would have to also caucus for Bernie to throw the election his way? They obviously can't just go to Clark and Washoe Counties and tell the R's, "everyone go stand with the Bernie supporters on Saturday and stay away on Tuesday" because that would be too obvious.
