Contested is not a brokered.
Figure it out.
Contested is not a brokered.
You’re getting hung up on semantics...whether contested or brokered, a convention can be then subjected to wheeling and dealing on all levels; if you think party bosses aren’t involved in a so called ‘contested’ convention, I don’t know what to tell you...
the other thing to be considered; the track record of contested conventions is abominable, and it i to the benefit of the party to wrap the contest up as soon as possible...
