To any pledged Hillary delegates thinking about jumping ship... watch what you say!

[reformist2]

According to Wikipedia, if Hillary senses any of her delegates could be disloyal, she can scrub you off the list. Or should I say "wipe"...

"Pledged delegates are elected or chosen at the state or local level, with the understanding that they will support a particular candidate at the convention. Pledged delegates are, however, not actually bound to vote for that candidate, thus the candidates are allowed to periodically review the list of delegates and eliminate any of those they feel would not be supportive. Currently there are 4,051 pledged delegates."

1. pledged delegates are bound thru the first ballot of voting

why they are called pledged delegates

[still_one]

3. The super delegates aren't pledged, but Hillary has enough comitted SD, that

it should put her over the top easily

7. Those are GOP rules

Under GOP rules, pledged delegates are indeed bound but the candidate has no approval rights over these delegates. Under democratic rules even pledged delegate may vote as they chose but the candidate has absolute approval rights over these delegates. In Texas we are vetting all Clinton delegates and Gary Mauro (the Clinton authorized person) can veto any delegates.

I am one of the committees vetting delegates and committee candidates.

2. It's a landslide win for Hillary

Sanders would have to get a lot, I mean A LOT. It's gone from desperation to mentally unstable fantasy and delusion.

4. kind like

Hillary winning the general.

[B Calm]

5. Very true!

[anotherproletariat]

8. So are you voting for Trump in the general? If so, it might be time to leave DU. nt

[EdwardBernays]

9. Lol

If your candidate of choice makes it to the general she will be the least trusted, least popular Democratic candidate in history. I didn't do that.

But look I know I know it's all a conspiracy... We all know. It's everyone else's fault.

If it helps you sleep better at night you can blame me. Lol.

14. They intend to commit suicide

I am not going to stop them...

[KingFlorez]

10. I really hope that she wins and wins big (which she will do in a big way)

Only because I know that it would drive you people up the wall to see Hillary Clinton inaugurated as President.

[EdwardBernays]

13. lol

you're really in for a shock

[Gothmog]

6. The candidates are vetting all pledged delegates

I am on the committee vetting delegates in my senate district

[KingFlorez]

11. So much for that plan

Looks like Sanders isn't going to be able to get Clinton's pledged delegates. Too bad, so sad.

[reformist2]

17. It's basically a purge. Expect more should she be elected.

[barrow-wight]

12. So let us get this straight...

... the Bernie fans speak out against how un-democratic superdelegates are.

... then the Bernie fans speak out about how they want the superdelegates to switch regardless of their state popular vote.

... now the Bernie fans are strategizing ways for pledged delegates to switch and fly under the radar while doing so.

This is just despicable and hypocritical in the worst ways. I fear these people will do anything to win short of actually getting more votes.

[Trenzalore]

15. Amazing isn't it

Shouldn't be surprised though. Bernie isn't a democrat.

[barrow-wight]

16. Nope. After all the things he's said about the party,

I'm shocked they let him run as one.
