"Several GOP presidential campaigns are openly contemplating the increasingly likely possibility that a 2016 nominee won't be selected before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in late July. If no candidate secures enough delegates by the time of the convention, then what would happen is what's called a "brokered convention"—at which time things could get truly interesting."

"The nomination fight appears to be headed into June and CA to put someone over the magic number of delegates...." Scott Reed, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's political director, said in an email to Breitbart News. "But a protracted two candidate fight could keep both under the winning threshold and make Cleveland a historic, brokered convention."

A bit early to be predicting this?
Exactamundo. Brokered means back room deals and that means the terrified GOP establishment will kick the legs from under Trump no matter how many delegates he gets. "Interesting" is another word for behaving like Democrats and throwing out the old rules as you go.

I agree. It seems this theory is floated every four years.
Prep. Get the people used to the idea that breaking the rules are part of the process, and the sheep won't complain.
Boy are these people in for a huge shock.

Adlai Stevenson (of the 1952 Democratic Party) and Thomas E. Dewey (of the 1948 Republican Party) were the most recent "brokered convention" presidential nominees.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Believe it or not, I remember the 1952 Convention.  My grandfather was a political junkie and always watched the Conventions on his "new" TV.  : )

I guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree.  I get my political instincts from Granddad.

Back then TVs were bad about rolling the picture.  I'm not sure why.  Anyway, my granddad always blamed it on "those democrats"!!!!   :angry:
