Deadpool time: predict the first prediction of a brokered D convention on network TV

[Recursion]

I'm calling MTP, March 6th.

[Armstead]

1. Can you explain the scenerio you envision?

[Recursion]

3. Reporters love pontificating about a brokered convention

If no candidate has a majority in the first round then all delegates can vote for whomever they want. This leads to charges of "smoke-filled rooms." Reporters love imagining this happening.

[Armstead]

7. Oh...Then my bet would be about June 2015

Sorry, that was too cynical an answer. But it feels that way sometimes, like the primaries are just a formality.

BTW I also wish your candidate was being taken more seriously too.

[Recursion]

8. Ha! Fair enough.

BTW I also wish your candidate was being taken more seriously too.

Thanks! That's encouraging.

I personally really believe that the early debates and Iowa are going to be a crucial test for O'Malley, but he will pass.

I think he'll take third in Iowa, after Sanders and Clinton. And second in NH after Sanders. At that point, the race is on.

2. A brokered convention seems as likely as one that nominates two as a compromise,

but not idiocy is too silly for the press. I'm in for March 3, having spent the past 2 days dissecting every real possibility into hamburger.

[Recursion]

5. Interesting.

March 3 is a good answer.

[Renew Deal]

4. The only way that happens is if someone can't get a majority

Or something goes tragically wrong. And with 2 candidates getting all the votes, someone will get a majority.

[Recursion]

6. Oh, it absolutely won't happen. I'm asking when the first MSM prediction of it will be.

[Renew Deal]

9. Ahhhh, now I got you.

5 minutes before a Biden announcement.

But a brokered republican convention could be fun.

[Recursion]

10. I would pay good money to see that! (nt)

[Snap the Turtle]

11. They'll begin calling for brokered convention

when Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada falls into the Sanders column. The Super Tuesday firewall will tell all.
