Forgive me, if the GOP has a brokered convention, what’s to prevent the RINO elite from just picking Romney as the nominee?
While the RINO 'elite' would definitely be out in force in the case of a brokered convention, very few of them, if any, would be actual delegates, with voting power. They would have to somehow convince the delegates to support Romney, and if he can't get that support from the voters *now*, how will they be able to secure it in the event of a brokered convention?
Not so easily done. An open (as in no clear frontrunner) convention doesn't help Romney, or his backers in the left wing of the GOP at all, and in fact, demonstrates palpably Romney's electoral weakness as a candidiate. In fact, an open convention could see an eventual nominee who isn't even currently in the race, depending on what the delegates themselves decide...
