53. Flipping pledged delegates may not be legal and will be next to impossible

I am considering strongly trying to be a delegate to the National Convention and was on the rules committee at the last state convention. I also had to read the Texas Democratic Party rules and delegate selection process for the Clinton Victory Counsel program. I am the chairman of the rules committee and parliamentarian for my county convention on Saturday.

The candidate has final approval right over pledged delegates. To qualify to be a delegate to the national convention, you will be vetted at a number of different levels including with the candidate having a veto right. The people who will be selected will be strong democrats who are not likely to flip. The democratic party in Texas has a good mechanism for vetting delegates and the people who selected are strong democrats. I have only been very active for ten or 15 years in county party and state party politics and there is a good chance that I will not be selected even though I am a maxed out Clinton primary donor.

The fact that the Sanders people think that they can flip a significant number of pledged delegates is amusing but unlikely. I will check with the state party to see if an unfaithful delegate can be removed
