“Brokered convention” refers to a situation in which the vote tally is uncertain heading into the convention.

There hasn’t been a brokered convention in the strict sense since 1952 (1948 on the Dem side). GOP leadership would simply not allow it to happen.

Our political process is tightly stage managed despite the appearance of conflict.

Are you saying GOPe is gonna fix votes? If that’s what you’re saying then what’s the point of any of this? We might as well scrap this and start forming state militias.

I’ve never seen the GOP this splintered in my lifetime. The media no longer controls info.

I see plenty of scenarios where 3-4 candidates end up with equal delegates from primary wins, and we have no majority.
Not saying it will happen, just that we have a better chance of it happening for the first time since 1952.
Heck, we almost have a football team running on our side.
