What is a brokered convention again? Just a simple explanation pls.

I see a brokered convention one way or another.
A what?

If no candidate arrives to the GOP convention with the support of 1,237 delegates (half of the total) and satisfying the current Rule 40 (earning a majority of delegate support from at least eight states), the contest becomes contested, with the candidates closest vying to win delegates who have yet to pledge support. If, after the first vote, a candidate is chosen, then it is classified as contested.

If it goes to a second, third or more vote, it is a brokered convention - and becomes more complicated. Once it reaches a second vote, and is classified as brokered, all delegates are allowed to vote for any candidate on the ballot - they aren't tied down to who they initially supported.

In every case of a contested or brokered convention (and it's very rare), that nominee has lost the general. Read more http://sep7agon.net/serious/explaining-a-brokered-convention/

I have never seen a political party so visibly fractured.
I know right?

This is fucking great.

You've got 9 people, under the same time, with 9 vastly different stances on issues and who seemingly have no stances of agreement.

Source?

Official Star Wars reddit - users who started sharing their spoilers were verified by the mods. By now, it's become so prevalent that it's unlikely to be false.

Plus, I was right about the H5 spoilers.

 Because I like to ruin the fun.

DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS.

Spoiler
Kylo Ren: Actually Ben Solo, Han and Leia's son. Seduced to the Dark Side by Snoke, he wants to be like his grandfather, Darth Vader. He is quite powerful, but Rey kicks his ass in a fight.

Han and Leia are separated. Leia is the rebel leader and is looking for her brother, who vanished after his padawan (Ben Solo) went to the dark side.

Finn is not a Jedi, he just wielded a lightsaber in the trailers as deception

Rey is a force-sensitive who is the real next Jedi. Oh, she's super strong as well. Her family left her on Jakku, which is why she doesn't want to leave. At the end of the movie, she becomes the captain of the Falcon, with Chewie as her first mate.

Po Dameron is barely in the movie, but Leia sends him to find Luke.

Luke is in it for all of two seconds, doesn't speak.

Oh, and they kill Han Solo at the end. He is killed by his son.

Does Carson have any idea what he is saying?
I turn back to the computer whenever he talks tbh.

Fair enough.

Fiorina makes a good point on the government being far behind the technology curve.

Rubio seems slightly flustered following Cruz's comment.

Rand Paul finally gets his first words in.

Rubio would make me consider voting Republican, to be honest.

Plus he's a solid 8/10
"Hey everybody homosexual man here, just like you all to know I'm homosexual (I'm not heterosexual, I'm gay!), NOT STRAIGHT."

Do you have anything to contribute?
A hell of a lot more than anything you can ever imagine contributing.

I can see that.

Yeah, even though most are Hindu

Gotcha

First question: Trump's Great Wall.

I still have yet to see any details of funding such construction.
He's gonna make mexico pay for it, duh.

And Japan, cause why not.

Also, these idiots do not realize that attack Trump is stupid. He has 41% of support, he's gonna backslap you like a bitch and look good doing it.
