In many cases the delegates names are known and if they don’t vote for whoever the majority of their districts chose, they still have to go back and live in their hometowns. I don’t think a whole lot of people would be willing to completely defy the choice of their community.

That is why house and senate members should not be allowed to live in D.C. They should have to stay in their district beholding to the people who elected them. All they do is give speeches and vote. They can do that electronically and save billions for taxpayers. D.C. is a casino with a tilted table.

I've thought about that too. But consider this. When a politician runs for office, he promises all sorts of things, like lowering taxes, etc. When he then goes back on his promise, there's anger for awhile, then it all blows over.

Politicians (and delegates) count on the voters having short memories. And, unfortunately, that's usually the case.
