For Democrats, It looks like a brokered convention is coming

> This happens every cycle and we never get a brokered convention from either party.

The Dems had a brokered convention in 2016.
It was a little different in that all the brokering was before the convention.

So what happens if no one has the convention wrapped up? That's when the so-called "super delegates" step in and no one really knows what happens next.

That's the difference this time around - the superdelegates don't vote in the first round. They're 15% of the total vote, which is pretty decisive, and their allegiance is to the DNC, not their home states. In effect nothing has really changed but appearance in the absence of a single majority candidate on the first ballot.

The big hope of the RNC once Trump appeared on the scene in '16 was a brokered convention in which they could promote a third, "compromise" candidate, Kasich being at the top of most of the GOPe insiders' lists. Had it been Kasich vs. Hillary we'd be talking in terms of her second term right now assuming there still was a United States.

Yup, Big Mike and Buttplug would check all the lefty boxes for the moonbats, but the scary thing is...they might win.
