Almost the entire field would have to drop out and endorse one of the front runners for the first ballot to produce a nominee. Even a frontrunner dropping out/endorsing/pooling support wouldn't necessarily push folks over the edge... unless perhaps Bernie dropped out and endorsed Biden :)

So why stress about one's choice and/or bully other people about theirs??

It's the superdelegates (former presidents, congressional leaders, party leaders, etc.) who will be casting the decisive votes after this initial ballot. I'm almost starting to look at this primary as one big poll for them.

I can see the sense in debating policy, but not votes lol. Just rep and defend your fave to attract support from the SDs *shrug*
