but who will run a brokered conventioned? The establishment ‘moderates’??
The term “brokered convention” does not mean what it did 150 years ago. Today, each state has slightly different rules about its national convention delegates. In Texas, for example, the delegates are bound to vote for their allocated primary nominee for the first round of voting. If after the first round of voting, there is no majority, they are then all free to vote for anyone. So you see, it’s not really “brokered” as the nominee will need to win the delegate votes, one way or another.
