In reply to the discussion: The real question in the primary. Can Biden get 51% of the delegates? [View all]bluewater
(5,376 posts)If it comes down to it, the Super Delegates will vote for the single candidate that was won the most delegates coming into the convention. Well, a few might not, but the vast majority will do all they can to ensure that a nominee is selected on the second ballot, worse case. And that nominee will be the single candidate that came into the convention with the most delegates earned.
They will not vote for a "coalition" candidate that did not have as many delegates coming in no matter how many they get thru dealing making at the convention. And they will pressure all the campaigns to do the same.
For that reason, I do not think any brokered convention will go past the 2nd ballot.
The super delegates will insist that the party comes out united behind the person having the most delegates entering the convention.
At least that's my take on it.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
