| xp1337 02/14/20 7:06:06 AM #112: | A brokered convention is a mess because it turns what should be a moment of unity and a formal transition into putting all the base and party's energy behind "We're ready to take on Trump/[Insert incumbent here for generic case]" into the literal opposite of unity as it becomes a heated battle within to acquire the necessary delegates and there will necessarily be hurt feelings from the losing sides... all with media gleefully fanning the flames because it'll make great spectacle. I don't think it necessarily reflects as a failure of the eventual nominee (heck you can argue the trial by fire of securing the needed delegates as the first real test of coalition building and working with opposing parties though this is totally not the prevailing narrative that would emerge)... although it certainly could depending on the specific situation. Not willing to generalize it for all cases because I don't think that's accurate. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
