You must be severely delusional,a brokered convention gets kasich and Ryan. Have you no clue what the gopE is plotting?

If no candidate reaches the point of controlling the delegate count of 1237 the convention is opened to a floor vote and the delegates are released from their obligation to vote in accordance with their state primary rules.

That's when the bargaining, negotiating and political promising begins to swing delegates to one candidate or another for what may be more than one floor vote.

To be eligible and in the running at that point a candidate MUST have won at least eight primary state elections. Neither Kasich nor Ryan have done so and will not be in a brokering position.
