it is rare but possible. We used to call them brokered conventions back in the day when there was no-one with a majority of the delegates.

I think we are all just hoping that voters will not vote for him on November 5 after hearing the evidence presented at the Jan 6 trial, or the documents trial.

But I still hold out hope that the GOP comes to its senses, that Trump drops to around 25 percent of the voters before the convention and they don't put him on the ballot. Then of course we gotta beat someone else which might be harder to do but overall safer for the nation.
