This, from the guy who doesn't see red states or blue states. Quite the uniter.

I just learned that if Trump goes to the convention as the leading delegate-getter (a good chance), but that he has less than 50% o fthe total delegates (also a good chance), they delegates can do what they want. I didn't know that.

I am a bit torn. I don't like the idea of the power-brokers un-doing what the voters do. But I also believe that if the "leader" has less than 50% of th etotal, then you take the top 2 and have a run off. I don't like the idea of anyone winning anything, if they didn't get 50% of the total. But I really, really don't want it to be Trump.

And just the other day you were aghast that the Dem super delegates could vote for who they wanted.

As I said, I am torn. I hate to be hypocritical, sometimes you gotta put your money where your mouth is. But I have always believed, that if you didn't get 50% of the vote, you didn't win the election. I believe that, even when it benefits my side. If Trump is in first, but has 40% of teh delegates, and he doesn't get the nomination, that's not the same thing as truly winning the primaries (with more than 50%) and having it taken from you. I gues I wish that i fno one wins 50%, that they'd have a runoff with the top 2.

Your superdelegates aren't going to let Bernie get the nomination, even if he has mor ethan 50% of teh pledged delegates. We will never know I guess, as it's not likely.
