No, but I believe my father was. And anyway it’s not only human nature it’s politics itself to discuss and form your core group of supporters in advance. Contested conventions worked much better before 24/7 news. The people will not back a candidate that wins close to 35 states and the popular vote these days. They’ll watch it unravel on TV and stay home.
Frankly and honestly at this point I think the only way to unite the party would be if Trump didn’t win the first ballot and had to go with his hat in his hand to get the necessary delegates to put him over the top.
The party is so fractured right now, and this forum is evidence of it, that if Trump wins without having to humble himself and be a “party” guy, then Hillary will win in a landslide.
But that’s just my opinion and apparently it is an opinion that might get me zotted, so I’d hope you’d keep this between you and me. :-)
My post should obviously say the people will not support a candidate that lost 35 states and the popular vote in a contested convention...
