What a brokered convention would tell us is exactly who and what the party elites REALLY want to foist on the voters. That’s the exact reason they don’t want to allow a brokered convention to ever take place.
They want to always be able to point and say, “The voters choose him/her. If you want to have a different nominee, then vote for your candidate in the primaries. It’s too late now. Ha, ha, ha.”
(They don’t actually say ‘Ha, ha, ha,’ loud enough for anyone outside the realm of the elites to hear.)
This is exactly why WE want a brokered convention, so we can blame the ones whose fault it really is, the elites. This election cycle, anyone who doesn’t want a brokered convention is either one of the elites, or an elitist enabler. (Or an elitist wannabe. Or an idiot. Wait, I repeated myself.)
If Romney gets more state delegates then McCain, the superdelegates will put McCain on top on the first ballot and all hell will break loose.
No candidate produced by a brokered convention has ever won the general--from either party.
They’re only ‘elites’ if WE empower and recognize and finance them as such, one way or another.
WE still have the power of the vote even after the primary.
It’s OUR Republic, if we choose to keep it.
