If you take a guy with 70% the delegates of one guy, and try and make him the nominee that’s shenanigans.

If you try and provoke a fight and stick someone who didn’t even run in the primary, or say only won Ohio as the nominee that’s more than shenanigans.

Now, I can understand say if two guys were within say 20-50 delegates of each other, and the party thought “this guy here can win”, well, I could understand that.

But I don’t see that as happening. What I see happening is an effort to cause mayhem at the convention from the articles I’ve read to date.

No it isn't. You aren't counting the other delegates who rightfully have their say too. Delegates won by other candidates who not being able to see their candidate win have to choose among the remaining contenders. The people they represent count too.

As I said, if a candidate doesn't have a majority then more people voted for someone else than him. Those people have a right to their say.
