before the Trumpsters start screaming about him being establishment. A contested convention is a lot different than a brokered convention. This is the last thing the GOPe wants if none of the candidates win the number of delegates required for the nomination.
It's another example of dancing on the head of a needle - a typical attorney/politician-like move.
The “brokers” are convening now, before the convention, to arrange for a “contested” convention, to make it appear legitimate, and in keeping with the RUUUUULES.
The FIXERS are convening early. Get it?
THERE ARE NO RULES AGAINST ESTABLISHMENT DIRTY TRICKS AND FIXING ELECTIONS. (As desperate Cruz has proven on more than one occasion.)
