But 46% with only two candidates is?
...a plurality. Same as 2% with 100 candidates. Of course when ya have a plurality (no majority) then the election could be turned over to the house of reps but then that's what the electoral college is for. That was covered in tenth grade political science here. You must have missed it.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
