I’m confused. If a nominee doesn’t have the total number required, ballots are then cast at the convention. Does that make it a contested convention? If so, America has been blessed with quite a few very good Presidents through contested conventions. Jefferson, Polk and Coolidge come to mind.
And I’m also confused. All these primaries and votes. What are they for again? It appears the GOP regards it as theater. It would be the sacred voice of the people if it was for Jeb or Marco. Otherwise it is nothing they listen to apparently.
