Sanders supporters think if he gets a small plurality, he must be nominated. Is that Democracy? [View all]

Is that democracy?

First is first. Even if majority doesn't support him, Sanders still should get the nomination.

No, the rules are clear. The nominee has to have a majority. A competent politician with a plurality should be able to form a majority. Some Sanders supporters seem to feel he lacks the skills to build this much needed coalition.
