Trump On a Brokered Convention

Speculation grows that the Republican Party may end up with a brokered convention. The Washington Post reported today that establishment Republicans met on Monday and are plotting out how to win a brokered convention. Last week,  the Washington Post caught up with Donald Trump to get his views on a brokered convention:
When asked by The Washington Post last week what he thought about a contested convention, Trump said he, too, is preparing for one.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a brokered convention. But if it is, I’d certainly go all the way — and I think I’d have a certain disadvantage,” he said.
“I’ll be disadvantaged,” he continued. “The deal-making, that’s my advantage. My disadvantage is that I’d be going up against guys who grew up with each other, who know each other intimately and I don’t know who they are, okay? That’s a big disadvantage. . . . These kind of guys stay close. They all know each other. They want each other to win.”
