that’s what they said about 7 of the 10 contested ballot winners and general election winners back when

You're so far behind the curve. Contested conventions are not good for the party that experiences them, in general.

Thorough articles have been published on the topic.

Contested conventions are something to be avoided when at all possible.

Fortunately, that's what is going to happen. The last contested GOP convention was in 1976, 40 years ago, and that convention produced a loser.

Furthermore, in the 1076 GOP convention, Ford and Reagan were very close in their delegate totals, unlike the totally lopsided situation this time around.

SO it's apples and oranges even for the most recent convention, which was 40 years ago.

Like I said, it's something party's try to avoid.

That's why the thoughtful folks who care about their party and their country are going to avoid any GOPe or Cruz (but I repeat myself) convention shenanigans this time around.

So Vote Trump

Lol yeah- they just fall all to pieces afterwards- whatever- I’m not the one ‘behind the curve’

Like i said- it’s something parties also survive just fine- you are over reacting-
