Chuck Todd: Either Trump wins nomination or there's a brokered convention

[brooklynite]

(on Morning Joe)

No other outcome possible.

[FBaggins]

1. Those are the most likely... but other outcomes are possible

If Cruz drops out and endorses Rubio, Trump would lose almost every state.

2. Latest polling has Trump winning head to head against either candidate

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. I don't think is in the business of endorsing the establishment

As much as he might hate Trump

5. many cruz supporters second choice is trump

yes, i lurk on that other website...,cruz supprters hate the gopE as much as trump supporters do. and most are either trump/cruz or cruz/trump.

and many carson supporters are anti E too. so the boy wonder can forget about a windfall if anyone drops out, except for kasichs handful of supporters.

4. I think he's right.

A brokered convention could fracture the GOP, so let's hope....

[Vinca]

6. I think Trump is going to have the numbers, but a brokered convention would be great.

Picture "The Donald" and his stable of lawyers in the front row, filing court documents as the process is underway. Marco would have a cooler filled with Poland Springs next to his chair and paper towels to mop up the sweat. Cruz would continue the Bible waving and breast beating. It would be the best circus ever.

7. Duh: either an egg is raw or cooked.

Seriously, it will be Trump.
The risk of a brokered convention is greater between Hillary and Bernie.

[HooptieWagon]

8. Do you know what a brokered convention is?

How do you figure neither candidate gets 50+% delegates when there are only two candidates?

[Albertoo]

9. It's brokered in fact if not literally

If one of two candidates wins by less than, say, 2/3rds, it's as good as brokered in the sense that the 'minority' candidate can demand influence over the final Party platform.
