| At a brokered convention they could put anyone up for vote including folks that never even ran (like VP Cheney or Jeb Bush). What they do is approach someone and if that person says they would accept it if nominated then some delegate (probably from that persons state) will propose that person and they will vote on it. Its actually makes for an interesting convention. I still believe that none of these guys will get over that threshold so its a strong possibility.  U.S. Army Retired |
Well, that gives me something to pray for, then.

thanks!
When was the last time that the Republicans nominated a presidential candidate through a brokered convention? By the way, I thank you for all of your illuminating posts! :^)
I once thought this a real possiblity, but it’s looking increasingly unlikely. We’re down to 2 candidates now, and over 90% of the delegates are left to be chosen. Someone is very very likely to get a majority, or a very large plurality close to it.
