David Freddoso’s meticulously researched, must-read article on how the delegate fight could go includes this conclusion:

A brokered convention, far from merely being a big mess, could also be very good for the Republican party. It would certainly make for better ratings, and perhaps a bigger boost for the nominee, than the sterile dog and pony shows that made up previous conventions. A brokered convention would allow for an airing of grievances for a party that has to decide its direction after a major loss.

Airing of the grievances? Hey, it’s Festivus!

If you’re thinking, “ah, a brokered convention, it’ll never happen,” take a look at Freddoso’s math. It is now no longer unthinkable.
