11. They won't
And even if they do, there are still a number of primaries after Feb 5. Also, the super delegates are still in play, and may be deciding factor.

It's highly unlikely there will be more than one major candidate left in the race after Feb. 5. The party has spent too much time and money trying to avoid the brokered conventions of the past. Every convention since 1984 has been little more than a coronation of a candidate, cleaned and sanitized for maximum prime time ratings.

The convention has turned into a pageant. There is little real "work" that goes on there, unless you count the staging and lighting.

This year will be no different.
