How desperate is the GOP-e to not have Trump as the nominee? Apparently they are preparing for a brokered conventions next year where no candidate gets enough delegates to become the party’s nominee for president. Considering the GOP-e absolutely desperation with Rubio, Bush and Kasich, the idea of a brokered convention isn’t exactly far fetched.

Several GOP presidential campaigns are openly contemplating the increasingly likely possibility that a 2016 nominee won’t be selected before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in late July. If no candidate secures enough delegates by the time of the convention, then what would happen is what’s called a “brokered convention”—at which time things could get truly interesting.
“We believe there are only two candidates who could possibly tie things up before the Convention (Trump and Carson), otherwise, we don’t see how a brokered convention can be avoided,” Doug Watts, Dr. Ben Carson’s communications director, said in an email.
“It’s hard to say,” Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told Breitbart News when reached by phone on Wednesday afternoon. Lewandowski was asked if there could end up being a brokered convention in 2016.
