Who would be disenfranchised? A nominee is chosen by a majority of delegates at the convention, not a plurality. If Trump can’t win a majority of the delegate votes at the convention, then what would give him the right to be the nominee?

This is no different than saying that voters were “disenfranchised” in 2000 when Gore lost the election after “winning” a plurality of the popular vote.

My understanding from the discussion on the video was that this would be the “plan” to steal the nomination by denying delegates that should go to the frontrunner.

Perhaps others have a better understanding and could share.
