re: #376 ericblair

If he can get 50%+1 delegates to vote for him at the convention he’s the nominee. Those are the rules he agreed to.

To win elections, you try to get the most votes. So its a bad idea to piss off a large bloc of voters inclined to vote for you when you need their votes to win. If Bernie has 33-40% of the delegates, and hundreds more than any other candidate, it would be a bad idea to deny him the nomination. Now if there are several candidates with about 20-25%, then have at it.
