The Democratic delegates are not bound either.

Absolutely right! Also, which states are those who appoint their
delegates? That would be an interesting consideration when
Green Party does its campaigning and soliciting for new members.
Does anyone know if it was ONLY the Republican Party caucus
in Iowa that was non-binding?

In addition to the superdelegates [party elected officials and =
operatives] that make up about 20% of the total number of delegates =
going to the Democratic national convention, each state has its own =
rules about its "elected" delegates. =20
I haven't read every state yet, but starting with Iowa and going =
down the list I was amazed at the number of delegates to the Dem =
national convention from several states who are appointed, at-large, =
allocated or otherwise not elected from their primaries or caucuses. =
This further dilutes the influence of the electorate. =20
...//...
Remember folks, the USA is not a country but a republic, and it's =
not a democracy. =20
