Santos war room. Everyone is screaming and shouting on the phone. Josh is trying to get a call through to the Pennsylvania delegation. Santos and Helen walk in. They want to know what's going on. We hear someone break the shocking news that Bundy is trying to get the nomination. Did John Wells decide that this is the time in the show when the audience nods off and needs to have things repeated over and over again? Someone's working on a whiteboard, keeping track of who has which delegates. Josh screams out, "Where in the name of all that is holy is Pennsylvania?" The cheaper part of me wants to make a geography joke here. But my audience is too good for that, so I won't. Josh runs out of the room, telling everyone that he's "going to find the Pennsylvania chair and nail him to a Santos sign." I'm not sure that's a great strategy to win votes.
On the floor of the convention, Bundy is speaking to some reporters. A bunch of Bingo Bob supporters have converged behind him with their Russell signs, while one poor soul is waving around a "Draft [Bundy]" sign. Bundy is denying any desire to become the savior of the Democratic Party.
Russell war room. More screaming and whiteboard erasing. A bunch of northeastern states are deserting Russell. Will thinks they'll end up with 1141 delegates.
Bundy continues his interview, telling the reporters that he's "as surprised as anybody here." Yes, it comes as a complete shock to him that hundreds of signs bearing his name were made up and distributed at the convention.
