 So these guys are probably going to be the nominees for president, but what if they dropped out? Well, the drama would be worthy of a reality show. The Democratic or Republican convention in the summer would turn into a free-for-all called a Brokered Convention, which hasn't happened since the 1970s. Since there would be no obvious choice, every group and faction within the party would be warring to get their fave as the nominee. For instance, with the Dems, progressives, moderates, and establishment Democrats would all be battling it out, maybe even making a backroom deal to support a certain candidate, but only if their person can be made the vice presidential pick, for instance. All the while, your vote from way back in the primaries would pretty much be disregarded. Yup, it'd be up to the 2,500-plus delegates, in large-part party insiders, to make the decision. And if the candidate were to drop out after the convention, the decision would be made by an even smaller group of people. And nope, your primary vote still wouldn't matter.
