do you risk nominating candidates who then can't appeal

Here's a wild idea. Let the voters nominate their own candidates in a primary without tons of interference from the DNC and super delegates. Or you know, just allow a primary at all.

Exactly. They'd rather lose with their chosen candidate than win with ours.
