Certainly you're not going to have entire state delegations make a last ditch attempt to coup Hillary, or have Bernie Sanders come out and say "vote your conscience" like Cruz did.

Most of the Bernie stuff will be coming on the first day. It might be fun to have the "Flakey Fringe" of the Party farting, chanting and acting the way fringy folks do. If it's taken with a bit of good humor it might make for good media.

I do suggest that Hillary invest in a few thousand "Clear the Air with Hillary" personal pocket fans to give away to the non-B.O.B. delegates!
