I read a lot about some odd-ball getting picked at a brokered convention. I think it's a deliberate scare tactic.

Seems every author forgets to mention that it STILL takes 1,144 delegate votes to win the nomination.

If the first ballot fails, they can vote for whomever they want.

And it doesn't have to be McConnell or Bush.

Some states don't release their delegates until after the second ballot.
