This shouldn't have to be said: A contested convention will doom us.

51. Exactly. I just had a conversation with a supporter of that candidate. I pointed out that

I have been asked a million times if I would vote for that candidate, who I do not like, if he is the nominee. I have never failed to answer the truth: I will vote for a rotting fish head if it is our candidate against Donald Trump. There is no Democratic candidate I would not vote for in the general.

Every poster I have seen who does not support that candidate has answered the same. They would vote for him.

This poster, though, posted to say a contested convention would lose us votes. I asked if that meant that, despite everyone else's party loyalty, this candidate's supporters would not support the nominee. The answer was, essentially, no, many of this this candidate's supporters would not support any other nominee than their candidate.

This is all coming from one place. All coming from the followers of one candidate.

A contested convention type of process chose Lincoln. I would have no problem honoring the results of a contested convention. The only way a contested convention is a problem is if we don't all stay loyal. If not to the party, then to the idea of ousting Donald Trump.

How can this even be a question?
