any even remotely known Republican start jockeying for position for the likely event the convention goes brokered. And why wouldn't they? What would be the downside? A lucky turn of events and they are the Republican Presidential nominee without having to do one one hundreth of the work normally required. Besides the folks currently still in the race for the GOP nomination, I think these folks could be involved and this is by no means an exhaustive list:

Mitt Romney
Sarah Palin
Huckabee
Jeb
Gingrich
Rick Perry
Rand Paul
Lindsay Graham
Paul Ryan
Mitch McConnell
John McCain
John Cornyn
Steve Scalise

Imagine what that would look like. Imagine what the Trump supporters, who are already becoming violent, would do if they thought he would lose a brokered convention after getting the most delegates.
