I am talking the Republican Convention. With so many candidates splitting so much of the vote (I mean the frontrunner, Mr. Trump, only has 15% in the polls, meaning 85% prefer someone else) it may be a long time before any of the candidates start dropping out. Wouldn't it be great to see not one of them garnering the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination before the convention starts, resulting in a brokered convention! That would mean some very bruised egos in that party before the general election.
Works for me!
