In reply to the discussion: About the upcoming transition to general election season [View all]SandersDem
(592 posts)while yes this is a long shot, the Primaries are NOT over. Things can always happen that would change the outcome of a Convention. While I am not saying that this will happen, your post leaves out something very important. Bernie Sanders.
Whether or not he is the nominee, what will THAT policy be? This is a telling and important oversight. There are many Sander's supporters who are anticipating leaving (and like you said some Hillary supporters may do so as well). Shouldn't the entire section regarding Hillary be a bit more generic?
Just my two cents here and I expect that there may be many replies telling me "it's already over" etc or "go ahead and get out" I will just ignore that and hope for an answer as Super Delegates do not have to make up their minds until CONVENTION. Neither Bernie OR Hillary will go into the Convention with a majority of delegates, that majority is not coming until the Super Delegates cast their votes at Convention, regardless of who they have committed to prior to that day.
I appreciate what you are trying to do, and the proof of it is going to be post 16th, but please apply the same rules to BOTH candidates.
