Brokered repuke convention?

With Krispy Kreme squeezing into the clown car , it becomes more and more likely that a few of these clowns might actually make it to the finish line. Remember, The Ego is self-financed.

How might that play out? Who would win in such a scenario? Jeb!? Or could someone like Mittwit emerge from the shadows?

Probably Bush, Walker. Maybe Rand Paul picks up enough popular support to win a few delegates. Fairly good possibility that no one has over 50% of the delegates, and there's a brokered convention. If that's the case, Bush has the establishment support.

Jeb! is not going to win Iowa. New Hampshire is a must win for him or Mittens jumps in.
