Someone is gonna have to explain to us simpletons what a “brokered convention” is.
A brokered convention is where no candidate gains a majority of delegates through the primary and caucus process. That means the party’s power brokers sit down in a smoke-filled room at the convention and decide the nominee. That nominee may well be someone fresh, who has not run via the primary and caucus process.

It is a way the party hacks and kingmakers can attempt to steal the nomination of a conservative and replace with one of the “elites” of the party who is moderate/liberal. Someone who has already agreed or will just naturally do things the way they want.
Best way to prevent it is to win the primaries decisively, just like Newt did in S. Carolina.
