Bernie could win every remaining primary and the super delegates would still be able to nominate Clinton. The Democratic primary system has nothing to do with the popular vote, the DNC will nominate who they want.
The only path for Sanders is an indictment of HRC by the DOJ, if that happens, the DNC will nominate someone else, perhaps Biden or Bloomburg.

If Trump gets Ohio and Florida next week, the others may as well quit. Then just let the convention fight it out. Personally, I think he will. Kasich MIGHT win Ohio, hes got a lot of local support so hes got a chance, but I dont like him. He has not been as good for Ohio as he would like people to think.

Pretty much all the TV ads were for Bernie, the day before the Primary.

It would be "much ado about nothing" politically. John Kasich hasn’t even hit 100 delegates yet. He currently has 54 and needs 1,183 to win the nomination. Kasich is indeed hoping for a win in his home state, which is "winner-take-all" with 66 available delegates. Even if he gets them, it's unlikely to change the race much. Trump has 458 and needs 1,237 to clinch.
Having said that....

A "brokered convention" would be a nightmare for the GOP base. Theoretically, the party could end up with a candidate who isn't even running a campaign.[This message has been edited by Doni Hagan (edited 03-09-2016).]

Yep, a brokered convention pretty much takes the voters completely out of the picture and their will is disregarded.
I thought I had read that Cruz had stated he wanted no part of a brokered convention, but that may have been back when no one thought Trump would last this long.

Oh my goodness it boggles my little brain to think of all the mess that could stir up.
I'm having a hard time staying on a thought trying to think about it all.
My preliminary guess is that everyone would be right back sunning on the beach as soon as that rogue wave washed back out.

Any candidate that will not reject the call for a brokered conversion
to undermine the candidate with a majority of delegates, is a deal
breaker for me. Would Appear, Smell and Taste too much like a
dictator for my tolerance....

A "brokered convention" would mean I never voted Republican again in my life.
I would stay independent until the day I die. IF I ever voted again.
To me the brokered convention means the people no longer have a choice in the country, and all hope of regaining anything is lost without a civil war.
