they are unable to compromise at the convention? Will it be settled by brawl, or will they just end up not fielding a candidate? If they settle by brawl, I wonder then which candidate will likely be the most "heavily" supported by the NRA element in attendance? Whether it comes to that or not, I imagine that most people there will be packing..........just because they can.
