We will say the primaries and caucuses failed to pick a clear winner, and there are 4 or 5 candidates who are in contention at the convention.

Would you like to see this situation where the major parties have to have a brokered convention to choose a Presidential nominee, with good old fashioned brokering and deal making?

Why or why not?

Please discuss.

One of the most famous brokered conventions in U.S. history, if not the most famous, was the Republican convention in 1920 which ended up nominating U.S. Senator from Ohio Warren G Harding for President.

A fascinating convention. 

Comes complete with party bosses, smoke filled room, wheeling and dealing.
