I don’t get it. I’m NOT a trump fan, but if he remains this popular, why would there need to be a contested convention. What would be the excuse?

Brokered convention

A brokered convention is a situation in United States politics in which there are not enough delegates won during the presidential primary and caucus elections for a single candidate to have a pre-existing majority, during the first official vote for a political party's presidential candidate at its nominating convention.

We haven't even had the primaries yet, the people haven't even voted yet and here are the GOPE and the RINO base trying to save their ‘gravy train’ and they don't care about you, or me or anyone else, and especially America and Her Citizens...

Tells you how much they really care about us huh?

Their excuse will be that Trump can’t beat Hillary.

If fact, they have already started it.

Listen to all the other candidates and media start pushing this line.

Because Trump is the biggest threat to the GOP in a 100 years

The GOPe would claim the wrong guy won the primaries and they need to fix it ASAP.

If he doesn’t cross their delegate count / state win threshold, weird things can happen. And the GOPe are beginning to think that is their last stand against him. It’s just another hurdle they’re putting in his way.
