“The nomination is going to a brokered convention.
Fred can win it there.”

How can he win it there? How many delegates would he need going in? Where is he going to get those delegates?

Do you really think that a ‘brokered convention’ (which seems to be the new favourite phrase on FR, though most of those using it don’t seem to have the faintest idea what it would involve or how it would play out) is going to select a candidate for President who had already been rejected by Primary voters nationwide?

I like Fred and what he stands for. Will Fred be able to broker a consensus of delegates at the convention at the rate he’s going now? He’ll need to be a heck of a lot more motivational and energenic than he is now.
