A contested convention favors one person and that person is Hillary Clinton.

Exactly, tearing the party a part and nominating Romney or JEB is not a solution voters are going to support

Contested convention is the final death of the Republican party.

Tell me if I take what you say incorrectly.

If Trump fails to have 1237 won Primary delegates when he gets to the convention and no one has a majority (1237) on the first ballot, then you want to convention delegates to anoint Trump the nominee without having a second or third ballot, even though he never reached the majority (majority rule required since Abe Lincoln won GOP CONTESTED CONVENTION). Is that what you want?
