Would it not be a good thing to have a brokered convention? Imagine the exposure for GOP candidates, and ideals as the MSM covers the first such race in decades. Queen Hillary would be an afterthought till the MSM (oops, I mean Democrat) convention in the summer

I agree. We would also get better candidates. In many ways, the smoke filled rooms did a better job of selecting nominees than the democratic open primaries, which are more a function of money than anything else.

I disagree. We’d have a split in fundraising, and the candidates would be focused on defeating each other rather than attacking Clinton. They wouldn’t be able to start a genuine campaign until after the convention - and that is not enough time to overcome the Clinton machine.

Beat me with a stick, but what is a brokered convention?
