If it's an open convention in Chicago, count on several hundred delegates to float the name Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He is (at least was, but everyone knows he still is) a lifelong Democrat. An icon. A truth teller. Someone the Dem Party power brokers now hate but who deserves a hearing.
I am not arguing that Kennedy could win the party's nomination, but that there will inevitably be hundreds of delegates who are pissed off at the party elites for leading them astray, for lying to them, for stomping on the democratic nominating process, for lashing out at a Kennedy (even in name only and thus degrading a family institution), and for Joe Biden's inexplicable and downright evil refusal to give Mr. Kennedy Secret Service protection. These would be the rogue delegates, making a point, and it would make the convention an even crazier event that it already is lining up to be.
