Getting The Nomination

For John, BLUF:  You have to have a path to the nomination.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From the Five-Thirty-Eight blog on "Leap Day" there following links talk to the path to nomination by the two five candidates (three Republicans and two Democrats).  They do not talk to a "Brokered Convention", one in which no candidate has the necessary delegate count to cinch the nomination (1237 for a Republican and 2026 for a Democrat).♠
