Reply #51: Simple: they broke the rules, so they get no vote on the candidate

Whether they have a say in the policies endorsed and other issues is a different issue. I think that the obvious and fair solution would be that they should have a normal vote on everything except for the nomination; their disobedience on choosing a nominee has nothing to do with their right to a voice in policy, unless an extremist view is taken. In the latter case, how long and to what degree should they be punished for their disruption? THAT's an interesting question.
