My hunch is that 20 is right smack dab on the line where it can go either way.
I think if he'd gotten under 20 he'd just wear this down and over 20 probably a sign that he didn't have the support.
But 20 is right there where it's hard to know. My inclination is to think that Jordan can maybe peel off a couple a round and then maybe the floodgate will come down on the 3rd or 4th ballot, but it's entirely possible members will see that he lost 20 and think he's cooked and can't get it.
I did think he'd lose more in the 10-15 range. 20 is more than I expected.
