62. My, you have analyzed my psyche to a T.
I submit that you do not know Jack about me, what I know about the candidates or how the primary caucuses work. You do understand that a delegate goes to the convention not to willy nilly pick whatever candidate is their personal choice, don't you? They are there to represent their precinct and do their best to sway the outcome to the PRECINCT's choice. If you want to denigrate someone, you will have to take offense at my entire precinct. One should not get seriously annoyed at what a delegate does when one apparently does not know know what a delegate's duties are.

In my previous post, I expressed my opinion on the electabilty of your hero, which has absolutely no connection with what happened on convention day. My responsibility at the convention was set on primary night and had only one small fraction involved with my personal choice. While there certainly exist faithless delegates who present one view to their precinct in order to become a delegate and then dishonorably renege to represent their personal choice at the convention, I chose to faithfully represent my precinct's decision, of which you still have no clue how I acted. Perhaps you hold a different view on that, but then that would involve your dishonor if you were a delegate.

I suggest that you maybe learn a little bit about the process and how it is supposed to work before getting annoyed that I personally feel that your choice was an unelectable cypher. You may want to become a delegate yourself in the next primary, however, unless you are unable to let your personal biases go in order to represent your precinct's conscious, perhaps your precinct might not want to choose you.
