I'd get rid of the whole idea of delegates.

Voters rank the candidates on their ballot, instead of choosing only 1. Whoever gets to 50%+1 after the primary is done and second choices allocated is the winner. No strings attached. Primaries are held weekly with 5 states each week, chosen randomly.

Although if I had to work within the system, a proportional delegate system, a 15% threshold, in an open primary seems the most reasonable. Although if it was a blue state I'd be tempted to make it WTA to prevent the wingnuts from taking over.

For the GOP, I would make the blue states use proportional and the red states use winner take all statewide. Open primaries throughout.
