Convention 'nightmare' possibility for Dems......
What happens if no candidate meets the 2,500ish delegates needed to qualify to be the winning candidate? (meaning what if no one makes the 50.1% threshold because 3 candidates stay in the race too long?)

Does this mean deals are made at the convention in Boston in August to get a winner? Would this be a good thing? Lots of coverage but then only a short time before the election. It would be like the conventions used to be.

2. It could be a good thing.
It might actually make the convention interesting.

As you said, they used to be that way.
