4. It'll be resolved by Feb 6
The party bigwigs deliberately set the process up so that we WOULD NOT have a brokered convention. This has been the case since the 1970s, after the ugly battles that took place in the 60s and 70s.

The last time we were even close to a brokered convention was in 1972, and still McGovern had a slim majority after he beat Humphrey in the relatively late California and New York primaries.

This race will be decided after Super Tuesday-- which is exactly how the DNC designed it.
