Jeff Fisher recently opined that DMC voters would
likely adopt the strategy of approving all candidates that they considered
certain to be beaten pairwise by their Favorite. This
would put these candidates in a better position to doubly defeat the
candidates that might otherwise beat X.
But this strategy would also increase the chances of
doubly defeating their compromise Y.
The only time this strategy would be safe is
when favorite X is so strong that compromise Y is not needed.
In that case, X probably doesn't need the over-kill,
but deserves to be the winner unless the other factions are united enough to
combine against X.
