>> no endless reporting

To have a brokered convention, more than two candidates must have delegates. O’Malley and Webb won no delegates. So that’s why there was no endless reporting.

What about the issue of contested delegates? The Clinton campaign has opened itself to a lot of challenges, such as in Kentucky. Then there’s the issue of the super delegates. I would think that Sanders and/or his supporters can hold up the certification process in very unpleasant ways.

Ok...maybe ‘brokered convention’ is the wrong term. But I would say the likelihood of huge fractures in the democrat party, at their convention is very high - much more likely than the much reported on GOP brokered convention ever was.

I imagine there will be legions of Bernie protestors outside, and even some inside booing speakers, etc. Apparently they just had a small skirmish in Nevada already.

It just amuses me that the lead story for months was how fractured the GOP convention would be...but nothing on the very real cracks in the rat party.
