I am hoping for a brokered or “broke” convention as I call it.

The closest to a brokered convention was at the 1976 Republican National Convention, when neither Gerald Ford nor Ronald Reagan received enough votes in the primary to lock up the nomination.[4] Since then, candidates have received enough momentum to reach a majority through pledged and bound delegates before the date of the convention. —— Wikipedia
