Possible but unlikely.
Someone is going to amass the needed delegates and it would likely be Trump.
For the party to shove him aside would be committing political suicide.
Even people opposed to Trump would never accept a candidate the elites might foist on the party already rejected by the voters.
They have to work with the front-runner and nominee apparent whether they like it or not.
“Someone is going to amass the needed delegates and it would likely be Trump.”
I would like to see Trump secure the nomination before the convention.
But I don’t think people realize how bad a brokered convention would probably be.
Karl Rove was on Fox last night saying that it is likely that no candidate will get enough delegates before the convention. He then said that a brokered convention would be good. He that it has happened before and it would help the party get the best candidate.
“Ryan acknowledged that people are talking to him about how he could get the nomination at a brokered convention where un-pledged delegates can ignore the results of their states’ primaries once the first convention ballot is taken.”
Who do you think the “people” who are talking to Speaker Ryan about being a candidate are?
The main problem is the assumption is that the GOPe are “Republican”. I believe that the GOPe is no longer that. They are the junior part of the DC Uni-Party, content to hang on to their DC perks and cede control of the country to the leftists.
