Nah. “Brokered convention” on either side is an overblown remote possibility.
Biden (or some “latino”) could beat Hillary with Obama’s support.
This should be one of the lead stories! An ex SS, running for POTUS, under investigation, meeting with the current pres, and we are not hearing anything!
“Madame Secretary, Did the President offer you immunity or a pardon for the security crimes for which you are being investigated?
