1) The candidate who comes into a contested convention with a plurality but not majority of delegates should probably get the nomination 2) They should not get it until *after* they have negotiated and compromised with enough of their opponents to get a majorityhttps://twitter.com/resisterhood/status/1233080560739848192 …
It's a nominating convention, it isn't and never was a "real election" It's the party's process of trying to pick a nominee that, bare minimum, they think a majority of the existing party will vote for, and if they can't do even that they've failed

Which means that, yes, any candidate that goes in with an actual minority of votes should not be the nominee until they can credibly say "I've done these specific things to win over the other candidates' supporters"

You can argue against the specific way to run a contested convention till you're blue in the face but that doesn't change that simply giving the nomination to someone with a minority of delegates goes against the whole point of the whole process
