First:
Nationwide caucus, like in Iowa, 15% of delegates*
Anyone below a certain limit is auto-dropped from the race.

Then:
State by state, 85%

Last:
The final step of the "caucus" procedure, where the final 15% of delegates are finally picked


A few notes:
15% would be increased if needed as to remain ahead of the largest state (in this case California).

The Caucus system for those who dont know is in short:
everyone gets together in houses and picks a small representative sample of themselves to go up to the next level
who then get together and do the same thing so that those people
can then get together and do the same thing so that those people
can then get together... etc
until the final step which is, in Iowa, the state convention.

My proposal is a nationwide caucus system, for 15% of the delegates at the final step. At the first step anyone who does not get 1/15th of the base delegates (first-step) then they get dropped
