That is the other question. How does releasing delegates work? Do they go back into the pool for a clean do over or does he throw his delegates behind a candidate which would surely make that candidate the nominee? How can the money he has raised to date be used for another candidate? I only used 1968 as an example wondering when in history an open convention for one party has resulted in a successful election. Maybe it will be. Maybe all the worry is all in the before times like when being a felon was disqualifying. Maybe the spectacle of an open convention will be the key to defeating the spectacle of a criminal opponent. Maybe is why I hoped the bulwark writers who have experience and insight into these things would go several steps beyond biden must step down.
