Ok I hear what you are saying, but my problem is, (stupidity?) I don’t know how a brokered convention works.

I don’t know how a brokered convention works.

A brokered convention is where a small group of zealots demands Duncan Hunter be appointed the Republican nominee.

Then the party does down to devastating defeat.

The power brokers in the party horse trade {ethical and otherwise} for votes and keep voting until a compromise candidate is reached. C.Coolidge & A.Lincoln were selected this way.
