so, what happens when a player repeatedly defects, as warren has done?

the other players take note, and learn to defect against her, too.

which is what should happen, now.

so, warren may win the game against klobuchar by defecting, and, likewise, she may win the game against buttigeg by defecting, but these victories should be pyrrhic, because it should broadcast to the other players that she's a defector.

or, as she put - a capitalist to her bones.
