“We vote to send the delegates to represent out vote, if the delegates are being paid off to not vote for who we want then it is is a waste of time us voting and it shows how corrupt the system is.”

All the bound delegates have to vote as they are bound on the first and perhaps more vote. If no one has a majority, the only way to get to a nominee is for delegates to switch their allegiance.

there would be no logjam after the first ballot, if the simple and obvious process of the candidate with the preponderance of bound delegates were the nominee; the artificial impostion of a bound delegate threshold, and then employing tactics designed to prevent a candidate from reaching it, is counterproductive and idiotic on its face...

after all, this is not the general election, in which the opposition party and the entire voting populace is involved...
