I will vote for the nominee IF:

[geek tragedy]

1) They have the most pledged delegates; or

2) They get the most popular votes.

By either metric, their nomination would be considered legitimate.

Anyone feel otherwise?

1. But What Will You Do If Clinton Gets The Nod Instead? [nt]

[geek tragedy]

4. If Clinton gets the most popular votes and gets the

nomination, I'll be heartbroken but will vote for her.


If she gets the most pledged delegates, I'll vote for her as well.

If you have someone who neither got the most votes nor the most delegates being selected by unelected DNC members, I'd have to think long and hard about it.

2. I will vote for the nominee

[maddiejoan]

3. I agree

either of those two metrics would be needed UNLESS something happens that would make the nominee completely, obviously and utterly unelectable. (Crime, Scandal --whatever)

[DJ13]

7. And there you have the reason the Clinton camp is wildly trying to make something stick

Thats no way to win a Democratic nomination.

Should Hillary win by using that tactic I will refuse to vote for her in the GE.

8. so basically

you're an unthinking robot.

gotcha.

5. The problem with the popular votes is that you necessarily disenfrachise the

states that caucus that have a different level of turnout.

So if it turns out that one candidate wins the delegate count, wins the most primaries, wins virtually all of the caucuses but narrowly loses the popular count you would . . . .?

[geek tragedy]

10. You can count caucus participants in most instances.

It's not a perfect metric. But it would be enough to get me to support the nominee.

[Upton]

6. I'll vote for the pledged delegate winner. that's it

why have primaries and elect delegates if we're not going to use them?

[onehandle]

9. I'll vote for the Democrat. Same as any year. nt
