11. There can't really be a brokered convention, or any convention

if delegates aren't elected from each of the states. The superdelegates can't vote until the delegates do, and you can't have a convention with fewer than half of the delegates.

Unless there are emergency rule changes.

Besides, a brokered convention means the superdelegates will vote on the second round, and very few will be voting for Bernie.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
