Reply #14: The only "in-between" for me is that this logic opens the door to those Democrats

who would pull any shenanigans to win the nomination, under the assumption that once accomplished all will be forgiven and the party will pull together.

I think the party will unite after the nomination, but I hate sending signals in advance that any tactic to secure the nomination is acceptable, because we will forgive everything after the convention.

In other words, I will "secretly" (I know "how do you do anything secretly by announcing it at GDP?) commit to supporting the Democratic nominee, but will not do so publicly at this point for fear of sending the message that winning the nomination "at all costs" is acceptable to me. It is not.
