“Can anyone here imagine the chaos that would grip American politics if electors were not bound on the 1st ballot?”
What is there that has them “bound”?
If there was something that had them “bound”, they could not do their duty of protecting the people of this nation from seating a threat to America and the Constitution, such as say, a Marxist Manchurian candidate who was under the influence of foreign interests and ideology... oh, wait...
So these people are so wise as to “protect the people?”
Requiring delegates to be bound is a threat in itself.
I wonder if these fans of bound delegates would feel the same if something came up that so damaged Mitt Romney between now and the convention that all knew that he could never win the election yet he refused to step aside.
