Sarah’s smart for not endorsing anyone yet..seems like every few weeks there is a new “Frontrunner” no point in endorsing now. Also, silly question but what is a brokered convention. Ive heard people talk about it just don’t know what it is

what is a brokered convention.

As I understand it, a brokered convention is when no one has enough committed delegates to win outright on the 1st ballot. After this, the delegates are free to support whomever, and it's major deal cutting time.

Pretty detailed explanation. It is possible by going that route for the establishment to screw us by putting in whom ever they want.

Not only that, but she knows the instant she does, SHE will become the center of attention and a distraction from the real issues. She’s smart, but I don’t have to tell you that ;-)
