As proposed by Ezra Klein, would a “brokered political convention”, meaning one that decides rather than affirms the presumptive nominee, be a chaotic disaster, as many fear?

This poll ends before the convention.
If Biden is nominated - N/A
If Biden chooses a successor who is nominated - N/A
In any other case, we will take a month to evaluate whether chaos reigns or a good candidate has emerged.

A “brokered national convention” is one where the candidate is chosen at the convention by the delegates rather than beforehand based on the primaries.
All signs are that Biden is going to get himself nominated over Zoom, thereby forcing me to resolve N/A.
BUT super interesting if the plan fails, and this does play out!
> Mr. Biden could also face strife from convention delegates who want to see a younger, more politically viable candidate at the top of the ballot and could push for a brokered convention.
