I believe these delegates have a responsibility to the voters.

Yep, they certainly do. It's in the rules. Typically, but not always, limited to the first round vote.

These "delegates" are mostly ordinary folk, just like little you and little me. They got off their butts, went to a caucus of other folks that also got off their duff that day, and chose who would represent the voter... for the first round (typically). THey reached into their OWN pockets for the $3000 or $4000 of hard-earned money to travel and stay in Cleveland, and vote, for their voters back home, for the first vote... and thereafter, vote their conscience.

Good luck!

” ..... and thereafter, vote their conscience. “

Which should be the will of the voters.

Yeah, .... just ordinary folks ... yada ... yada .. yada.

It doesn’t matter what your rules are. 62% disagree and many of them will vote or not vote on election day.

So I guess in your scenario anyone who cannot come up with $4000 doesn’t get the right to be represented fairly as a voter? So only the wealthy can make decisions for our country then, right? I think you’re in the wrong party, elitism is for the communists. You’re basically saying that if you have thousands of dollars to spend, then you get to vote your conscience and everyone else just has to sit back and take it.
